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 ...
Brain haemorrhage detection through SVM classification of impedance measurements
(NUI Galway, 2018-07-17)
Machine Learning is becoming increasingly important in interpreting biological signals. In this work, we examine the potential for classification in brain haemorrhage detection. Numerical head and brain models with and ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Detailed dielectric characterisation of the heart and great vessels
(IEEE, 2020-03-15)
The dielectric properties of biological tissues play a significant role in the planning and development of electro- magnetic thermal therapies. In most cases in the literature, heart is considered as a homogeneous organ ...
