Bi-frequency symmetry difference EIT - feasibility and limitations of application to stroke diagnosis
McDermott, Barry; O'Halloran, Martin; Avery, James; Porter, Emily (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 ... -
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 ... -
Detection of vesicoureteral reflux using electrical impedance tomography
Dunne, Eoghan; O'Halloran, Martin; Craven, Darren; Puri, Prem; Frehill, Paul; Loughney, Sarah; Porter, Emily (IEEE, 2018-12-14)Objective: The purpose of this study is to detect vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) non-invasively using electrical impedance tomography (EIT). VUR is characterized by the backflow of urine from the bladder to the kidneys. ... -
Dielectric properties of bones for the monitoring of osteoporosis
Amin, Bilal; Elahi, Muhammad Adnan; Shahzad, Atif; Porter, Emily; McDermott, Barry; O’Halloran, Martin (Springer, 2018-08-29)Osteoporosis is one of the most common diseases that leads to bone fractures. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is currently employed to measure the bone mineral density and to diagnose osteoporosis. Alternatively, the ... -
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 ...
