3D printable solid tissue-mimicking material for microwave phantoms
(IEEE, 2018-09-10)Phantoms provide valuable platforms for testing of medical devices including microwave diagnostic systems. This work describes a 3D printable solid tissue-mimicking material (TMM) for the production of such phantoms. The ... -
Anthropomorphic calcaneus phantom for microwave bone imaging applications
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-10-09)Recent studies have found a significant dielectric contrast between healthy and osteoporotic human trabecular bones. This dielectric contrast can be exploited by microwave imaging for monitoring human bone health. The ... -
The Development of Ultra Wideband Scanning Techniques for Detection and Classification of Breast Cancer
(2010-09-30)This thesis addresses the development of imaging techniques for the early detection of breast cancer, based on Ultra Wideband (UWB) radar, a promising emerging technology that exploits the dielectric contrast between normal ... -
Diagnosing breast cancer with microwave technology: remaining challenges and potential solutions with machine learning
(MDPI AG, 2018-05-19)Currently, breast cancer often requires invasive biopsies for diagnosis, motivating researchers to design and develop non-invasive and automated diagnosis systems. Recent microwave breast imaging studies have shown how ... -
Microwave bone imaging: experimental evaluation of calcaneus bone phantom and imaging prototype
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-12-14)Microwave imaging (MWI) can be used as an alternate imaging modality for monitoring bone health. Evaluation and characterization of MWI prototype is a precursor step before in vivo investigation of bone dielectric ... -
Microwave breast imaging: experimental tumour phantoms for the evaluation of new breast cancer diagnosis systems
(IOP Publishing, 2018-01-29)In this paper, a new set of tumour phantoms for the experimental evaluation of Microwave Breast Imaging (MBI) as a method to diagnose breast cancer is presented. The phantoms were based on previously developed numerical ... -
Microwave calcaneus phantom for bone imaging applications
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-03-15)Microwave imaging can be used as an alternate modality for monitoring bone health. Dielectrically accurate, anthropomorphic phantoms play vital role in testing of imaging prototype prior to clinical applications. However, ... -
Parameter search algorithms for microwave radar-based breast imaging: focal quality metrics as fitness functions
(MDPI AG, 2017-12-06)Inaccurate estimation of average dielectric properties can have a tangible impact on microwave radar-based breast images. Despite this, recent patient imaging studies have used a fixed estimate although this is known to ...
