In order to avoid the contrast source formulation (CSF) of the arising inverse scattering (IS) problem, a Born Iterative (BI) formulation is adopted, and the estimation of the unknown contrast function within the imaged domain is carried out by means of an iterative approach thanks to a customized multi?task Bayesian compressive sensing (MT?BCS) method. Some preliminary results are reported in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid BI?MT?BCS solution strategy, as well as to highlight its current limitations.} }
