A linear sampling method for the detection of leukemia using microwaves II

This paper continues our study of the use of the linear sampling method for using microwaves to detect leukemia in the lower leg [SIAM J. Appl. Math., 58 (1998), pp. 926-941], [Computational Radiology and Imaging: Therapy and Diagnostics, C. Borgers and F. Natterer, eds., IMA Vol. Math. Appl. 110, S pringer-Verlag, Berlin, 1999, pp. 137-156]. In the present work we no longe r ignore the presence of skin and assume that the sources are placed in a t hin sheath that is wrapped around the leg. This requires us to consider a r esistive boundary value problem and to extend the linear sampling method to treat problems of this type. Numerical examples are given, showing the via bility of this new model.
