An empirical dielectric mixing model for biological tissues
(IEEE, 2019-03-31)Dielectric properties of biological tissues are critically important for various electromagnetic based medical therapeutic and diagnostic technologies. This paper attempts to develop an empirical dielectric mixture model ... -
Feasibility of water content-based dielectric characterisation of biological tissues using mixture models
(IEEE, 2019-01-23)This study quantitatively examines the validity of mixture formulae as models to describe the microwave-range dielectric properties of biological tissue of varying water content. Mixture formulae, specifically the Maxwell ... -
Gamma band light stimulation in human case studies: Groundwork for potential Alzheimer's disease treatment
(IOS Press, 2019-05-27)It is known that proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis are significantly reduced by 40¿Hz entrainment in mice. If this were to translate to humans, verifying that such a light stimulus can induce ... -
Monitoring microwave thermal ablation using electrical impedance tomography: an experimental feasibility study
(IEEE, 2020)Low-cost and reliable methods for monitoring the size of the ablation zone during microwave thermal ablation (MTA) are crucial in the oncological clinical practice. The aim of this work is to test the performance of ... -
Multi-frequency symmetry difference electrical impedance tomography with machine learning for human stroke diagnosis
(IOP Publishing, 2020-06-18)Objective: Multi-Frequency Symmetry Difference Electrical Impedance Tomography (MFSD-EIT) can robustly detect and identify unilateral perturbations in symmetric scenes. Here, an investigation is performed to assess if the ... -
Static lesion detection in symmetric scenes using dual-frequency electrical impedance tomography
(NUI Galway, 2019-01-18)Tissues have characteristic frequency dependent impendence to electrical current. This property is exploited by Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), an emerging biomedical imaging technique. In EIT, electrical conductivity ...
