TL;DR: A simple design tool is introduced to devise guidelines to properly set the working frequency as well as to choose the optimum matching medium to facilitate the penetration of the probing wave into the head.

TL;DR: The design is concerned with the determination of the optimal layout of the antennas array, namely, minimum number, positions, and polarization of the radiating elements, enabling the acquisition of an amount of data such to assure a reliable imaging.

TL;DR: The open issue of monitoring patients after stroke onset is addressed here in order to provide clinicians with a tool to control the effectiveness of administered therapies during the follow-up period and a novel prototype is presented and characterized.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discussed the role of patient-specific information and the effect of inaccuracies in the measurement procedure, such as an incorrect positioning of the probes between two different examinations, and showed that the proposed technique is indeed feasible, even when a simple, nonspecific model of the head is exploited and is robust against the above mentioned inaccuracies.

TL;DR: This paper presents a robust method for quantitative MWI in medical applications where very little, if any, a priori information on the imaging scenario is available, by employing a distorted Born iterative method and a regularization by projection technique, which reconstructs the tissue parameters using a wavelet basis expansion to represent the unknown contrast.
