3D printable solid tissue-mimicking material for microwave phantoms
McDermott, Barry; Porter, Emily; O’Halloran, Martin; Poudel, Anup; Biggs, Manus; Karode, Nireeksha S.; Coffey, Austin B. (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 ... -
Bi-Frequency Symmetry Difference (BFSD) EIT in stroke diagnosis
McDermott, Barry; O'Halloran, Martin; Porter, Emily (EIT2019, 2019-07-01)BFSD-EIT can detect deviations in the inherent normal symmetry of the head due to, for example, the presence of a bleed or clot in stroke. We assess the potential of BFSD-EIT to robustly detect lesions under a series of ... -
Bi-frequency symmetry difference electrical impedance tomography a novel technique for perturbation detection in static scenes
McDermott, Barry; Avery, James; O'Halloran, Martin; Aristovich, Kirill Y.; Porter, Emily (IOP Publishing, 2019-02-20)Objective: A novel method for the imaging of static scenes using Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is reported with implementation and validation using numerical and phantom models. The technique is applicable to regions ... -
Feasibility of water content-based dielectric characterisation of biological tissues using mixture models
Balduino, Roberta; McDermott, Barry; Porter, Emily; Elahi, Muhammad Adnan; Shahzad, Atif; O'Halloran, Martin; Cavagnaro, Marta (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 ...
