A multistage selective weighting method for improved microwave breast tomography
(Elsevier, 2016-08-24)
Microwave tomography has shown potential to successfully reconstruct the dielectric properties of the human breast, thereby providing an alternative to other imaging modalities used in breast imaging applications. Considering ...
Minimum information for dielectric measurements of biological tissues (MINDER): A framework for repeatable and reusable data
(Wiley, 2017-11-13)
The dielectric properties of biological tissues characterise the interaction of human tissues with electromagnetic (EM) fields. Accurate knowledge of the dielectric properties of tissues are vital in EM‐based therapeutic ...
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 ...
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 ...
Broadband dielectric properties of adrenal gland for accurate anatomical modelling in medical applications
(IEEE, 2017-09-11)

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 ...
Comparison of in-vivo and ex-vivo dielectric properties of biological tissues
(Curran Associates Proceedings, 2017-09-11)
Accurate knowledge of the dielectric properties of
biological tissues are crucial for various applications
such as assessment of specific absorption rate and
safety of electromagnetic medical devices. Most of
the ...
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 ...
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 ...
