Abstract

This report presents the possibility of visualizing the organizational structures of the complex human body by solving the inverse scattering problem. A two-dimensional model was used to simplify analysis. The scattered strength distribution cannot be used to reconstruct the intracranial organizational structures despite the use of a coupling liquid, but the dielectric constant and conductivity distribution of the organs can be reconstructed exactly with the inverse scattering problem without a coupling liquid.
