Abstract :
Presents a microwave-imaging approach based on an inverse scattering procedure for the evaluation, in a non-invasive way, of the electromagnetic deposition inside biological bodies. For a two-dimensional geometry, avoiding any information about the e.m. source, some numerical results are presented in order to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach
