Gamma band neural stimulation in humans and the promise of a new modality to prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease
(IOS Press, 2018-07-19)
Existing treatments for Alzheimer s Disease have questionable efficacy with a need for research into new and more effective therapies to both treat and possibly prevent the condition. This review examines a novel therapeutic ...
Brain haemorrhage detection using a SVM classifier with electrical impedance tomography measurement frames
(Public Library of Science, 2018-07-12)
Brain haemorrhages often require urgent treatment with a consequent need for quick and accurate diagnosis. Therefore, in this study, we investigate Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers for detecting brain haemorrhages ...
Classification applied to brain haemorrhage detection: Initial phantom studies using electrical impedance measurements
(EIT2018, 2018-06-11)
Machine learning and classification algorithms are applied to data collected from an EIT system. The system is used with an anatomically accurate head phantom setup in a variety of situations modelling normal and haemorrhagic ...
Electrical impedance tomography with exploitation of symmetry
(Bioengineering in Ireland 2018, 2018-01-26)
Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is an imaging technique involving an electrode array positioned around the area of interest. Alternating current is injected, and voltage measured, between electrode pairs in a prescribed ...
A realistic pelvic phantom for electrical impedance measurement
(IOP Publishing, 2018-03-15)
Objective: To design and fabricate an anatomically and conductively accurate phantom for electrical impedance studies of non-invasive bladder volume monitoring.
Approach: A modular pelvic phantom was designed and fabricated, ...
Symmetry difference electrical impedance tomography-a novel modality for anomaly detection
(IOP Publishing, 2018-04-26)
Objective: The theoretical basis, experimental implementation, and proof of concept of a novel electrical impedance tomography (EIT) imaging technique, called symmetry difference EIT, is described. This technique is ...
Experimental evaluation of the effective ablation zone on ex-vivo bovine liver samples
(IEEE, 2018-09-10)
Microwave thermal ablation is under investigation
for minimally invasive treatments. In the cases of small targets,
such as adrenal glands, microwave thermal ablation is a valuable
alternative to the traditional and ...
Tackling hypertension via adrenal ablation-the development of novel immunohistochemical ablation biomarkers
(IEEE, 2018-04-09)
Microwave thermal ablation is under consideration for minimally invasive treatment of unilateral and bilateral adrenal adenomas, symptomatic of Conn's syndrome. Currently available microwave technologies are illsuited to ...
An insight into bone dielectric properties variation: a foundation for electromagnetic medical devices
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-09-10)
Dielectric properties of bones have recently got significant attention to monitor bone quality. This paper reports in-vitro dielectric properties of human trabecular bone samples obtained from osteoporotic and osteoarthritic ...
Dielectric properties of bones: A potential indicator for osteoporosis
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2018-01-26)
Osteoporosis is one of the major bone disease that results
into bone fragility and fractures. Approximately 300,000
people over the age of 50 years suffer from osteoporosis
in Ireland. Osteoporosis is mainly caused due ...
