Performance of leading artifact removal algorithms assessed across microwave breast imaging prototype scan configurations
(Elsevier, 2017-03-02)
Microwave imaging is a promising imaging modality for the detection of early-stage breast cancer. One of the most important signal processing components of microwave radar-based breast imaging is early stage artifact ...
Adaptive artifact removal for selective multistatic microwave breast imaging signals
(Elsevier, 2017-02-01)
Microwave imaging is one of the most promising alternative breast imaging modalities. Early-stage artifact removal is an important signal processing component of a microwave breast imaging system. In this paper, a monostatic ...
Dielectric characterization of diseased human trabecular bones at microwave frequency
(Elsevier, 2020-02-07)
The objective of this study is to determine whether in vitro dielectric properties of human trabecular bones, can distinguish between osteoporotic and osteoarthritis patients' bone samples. Specifically this study enlightens ...
Microwave bone imaging: A preliminary investigation on numerical bone phantoms for bone health monitoring
(MDPI, 2020-11-05)
Microwave tomography (MWT) can be used as an alternative modality for monitoring human bone health. Studies have found a significant dielectric contrast between healthy and diseased human trabecular bones. A set of diverse ...
A feasibility study on microwave imaging of bone for osteoporosis monitoring
(Springer, 2021-03-30)
The dielectric properties of bones are found to be influenced by the demineralisation of bones. Therefore, microwave imaging (MWI) can be used to monitor in vivo dielectric properties of human bones and hence aid in the ...
An anatomically accurate dielectric profile of the porcine kidney
(IOP Publishing, 2018-02-26)
Microwave ablation is a promising treatment for kidney cancer. Accurate knowledge of the dielectric properties of biological tissues is vital for quantifying the safety, reliability and accuracy of ablation, among other ...
Investigation of histology radius for dielectric characterisation of heterogeneous materials
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-07-13)
Knowledge of the dielectric properties of biological tissues is fundamental in the design of novel electromagnetic-based medical devices. Tissue dielectric properties are typically measured using the open-ended coaxial ...
A review of the dielectric properties of the bone for low frequency medical technologies
(IOP Publishing, 2019-01-07)
The dielectric properties are key parameters that quantify the interaction between electromagnetic waves and human biological tissues. In particular, the development of electromagnetic-based medical technologies rely on ...
An investigation of the variation of dielectric properties of ovine lung tissue with temperature
(IOP Publishing, 2019-06-24)
Presently, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths. Microwave thermal ablation is commonly used for the treatment of lung cancer. During microwave ablation treatment, changing temperatures (up to 100 °C) cause ...
