Technological requirements for microwave ablation of adrenal masses
(IEEE, 2017)
Microwave thermal ablation is under consideration for minimally invasive treatment of bilateral adrenal adenomas, symptomatic of Conn's syndrome. Currently available microwave technologies are ill-suited to precise ablation ...
Microwave calcaneus phantom for bone imaging applications
(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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
