This contribution introduces a novel approach for in-vivo estimation of electrical properties of biological tissues based on the solution of an inverse scattering problem and on an innovative use of morphological maps derived by magnetic resonance imaging or other medical imaging techniques. This issue is relevant in different medical applications, especially in hyperthermia treatment planning, where the expected performances are evaluated on the basis of the adopted electrical model of the patients. A preliminary numerical example of the proposed mapping is given dealing with a realistic head model.

Abstract
This contribution introduces a novel approach for in-vivo estimation of electrical properties of biological tissues based on the solution of an inverse scattering problem and on an innovative use of morphological maps derived by magnetic resonance imaging or other medical imaging techniques. This issue is relevant in different medical applications, especially in hyperthermia treatment planning, where the expected performances are evaluated on the basis of the adopted electrical model of the patients. A preliminary numerical example of the proposed mapping is given dealing with a realistic head model.File in questo prodotto:
