Abstract :
Various microwave tomographic methods have been proposed for breast imaging and cancer detection (see for example [1] and references therein). Due to the very high computational cost associated with iterative inverse scattering algorithms, most studies to date have been limited to two-dimensional (2-D) reconstructions. Recent advances in three-dimensional (3-D) microwave inverse scattering are reviewed in [2].
