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

Figure 8

Normalized coverage factor of the ablated area (red) and its complement (orange) related to the fusion image reconstructions obtained with the full antenna array (a, b, c) and with reduced antennas array configuration (d, e, f). It has been considered the case of noiseless data (a, d), noisy data with SNR = 80 dB (b, e), and noisy data with SNR = 70 dB (c, f).
