The use of microwaves is currently investigated as a tool for biomedical imaging applications, among which non-invasive diagnosis and monitoring of brain strokes. This communication aims at investigating the possibility of exploiting microwaves to follow up ischemic strokes and hence use this technology in a cooperative way with existing techniques currently used for brain stroke diagnosis. In particular, we discuss the choice of the imaging approach, the role of a priori information on the brain structure, as well as the effects on the imaging capabilities due to inaccurate positioning of the measurement probes.
