Dielectric properties of bones for the monitoring of osteoporosis
(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 ... -
Detection of vesicoureteral reflux using electrical impedance tomography
(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. ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 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 ... -
Association of blood pressure lowering with incident dementia or cognitive impairment: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(American Medical Association (AMA), 2020-05-19)The benefit of blood pressure lowering for the prevention of dementia or cognitive impairment is unclear. To determine the association of blood pressure lowering with dementia or cognitive impairment. Search of PubMed, ... -
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 ...
