| Sumario: | Complex-valued neural networks have emerged as an effective instrument in image reconstruction, exhibiting significant advancements compared to conventional techniques. This study introduces an innovative methodology to tackle the difficulties related to image reconstruction within medical microwave imaging. Initially, in the estimation phase, the proposed methodology integrates the Born iterative method with quadratic programming. Subsequently, in the refinement stage, the study explores the application of complex-valued neural networks to enhance the quality of reconstructions. The research emphasizes distinct complex-valued neural network architectures, namely, CV-UNET, CV-CNN, CV-MLP, and their corresponding performances. CV-UNET stands out as the best architecture, surpassing conventional methods and the other complex-valued neural networks variants. The complex-valued neural network improves the fidelity of reconstructions and simplifies the procedure by obviating the need for multiple training steps, a common prerequisite in real-valued neural networks. |
