Bi-Frequency Symmetry Difference (BFSD) EIT in stroke diagnosis
(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 ...
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 ...
Bi-frequency symmetry difference electrical impedance tomography a novel technique for perturbation detection in static scenes
(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 ...
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 ...
Bi-frequency symmetry difference EIT - feasibility and limitations of application to stroke diagnosis
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-12-19)
Objective: Bi-Frequency Symmetry Difference (BFSD)-EIT can detect, localize and identify unilateral perturbations in symmetric scenes. Here, we test the viability and robustness of BFSD-EIT in stroke diagnosis. Methods: A ...
Brain haemorrhage detection through SVM classification of electrical impedance tomography measurements
(Springer, Cham, 2019-08-28)
A brain haemorrhage constitutes a serious medical scenario with a need for rapid, accurate detection to facilitate treatment initiation. Machine learning (ML) techniques applied to such medical diagnostic problems can ...
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 ...
