Exploiting Microwave Imaging Methods for Real-Time Monitoring of Thermal Ablation

Figure 7

Reconstructions of the electric variations due to the ablation treatment using reduced antennas configuration (5 antennas) for the TSVD (a, d, g) and LSM (b, e, h) algorithm and dB cuts of fusion images (c, f, i), adopting a SNR equal to 80 dB, at  s (a, b, c),  s (d, e, f), and  s (g, h, i). The shape of the actual ablated area is superimposed (red line) to the fusion images.
