    • Anthropomorphic calcaneus phantom for microwave bone imaging applications 

      Amin, Bilal; Shahzad, Atif; Kelly, Daniel; O'Halloran, Martin; Elahi, Adnan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-10-09)
      Recent studies have found a significant dielectric contrast between healthy and osteoporotic human trabecular bones. This dielectric contrast can be exploited by microwave imaging for monitoring human bone health. The ...

    • Dielectric characterization of diseased human trabecular bones at microwave frequency 

      Amin, Bilal; Shahzad, Atif; Farina, Laura; Parle, Eoin; McNamara, Laoise; O'Halloran, Martin; Elahi, Muhammad Adnan (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 ...

    • Dielectric properties of bones: A potential indicator for osteoporosis 

      Amin, Bilal; Elahi, Muhammad Adnan; Porter, Emily; Shahzad, Atif; O'Halloran, Martin (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 ...

    • A feasibility study on microwave imaging of bone for osteoporosis monitoring 

      Amin, Bilal; Shahzad, Atif; Crocco, Lorenzo; Wang, Mengchu; O'Halloran, Martin; González-Suárez, Ana; Elahi, Muhammad Adnan (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 insight into bone dielectric properties variation: a foundation for electromagnetic medical devices 

      Amin, Bilal; Elahi, Muhammad Adnan; Shahzad, Atif; Parle, Eoin; McNamara, Laoise; O'Halloran, Martin (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 ...

    • Investigating human bone microarchitecture and dielectric properties in microwave frequency range 

      Amin, Bilal; Shahzad, Atif; Farina, Laura; Parle, Eoin; McNamara, Laoise; O'Halloran, Martin; Elahi, Muhammad Adnan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-03-31)
      Dielectric properties of bones are proposed to monitor bone quality. However, no study has investigated the relationship between bone dielectric properties and microarchitecture of bone, which is of paramount importance ...

    • Microwave bone imaging: A preliminary investigation on numerical bone phantoms for bone health monitoring 

      Amin, Bilal; Shahzad, Atif; O'Halloran, Martin; Elahi, Muhammad Adnan (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 ...

    • Microwave bone imaging: experimental evaluation of calcaneus bone phantom and imaging prototype 

      Amin, Bilal; Sheridan, Colin; Kelly, Daniel; O'Halloran, Martin; Elahi, Muhammad Adnan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-12-14)
      Microwave imaging (MWI) can be used as an alternate imaging modality for monitoring bone health. Evaluation and characterization of MWI prototype is a precursor step before in vivo investigation of bone dielectric ...

    • Microwave calcaneus phantom for bone imaging applications 

      Amin, Bilal; Kelly, Daniel; Shahzad, Atif; O'Halloran, Martin; Elahi, Muhammad Adnan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-03-15)
      Microwave imaging can be used as an alternate modality for monitoring bone health. Dielectrically accurate, anthropomorphic phantoms play vital role in testing of imaging prototype prior to clinical applications. However, ...
