Anatomically and dielectrically realistic microwave head phantom with circulation and reconfigurable lesions
McDermott, Barry; Porter, Emily; Santorelli, Adam; Divilly, Brendan; Morris, Liam; Jones, Marggie; McGinley, Brian; O'Halloran, Martin (The Electromagnetics Academy, 2017)Phantoms provide valuable test platforms for developing medical devices. Solid materials in particular allow fabrication of stable and robust models. This paper presents a novel, anatomically realistic, multi-layered head ... -
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 ... -
Gamma band neural stimulation in humans and the promise of a new modality to prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease
McDermott, Barry; Porter, Emily; Hughes, Diarmaid; McAuley, Brian; Lang, Mark; O'Halloran, Martin; Jones, Marggie (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 ... -
An investigation of the variation of dielectric properties of ovine lung tissue with temperature
Bonello, Julian; Elahi, Muhammad Adnan; Porter, Emily; O'Halloran, Martin; Farrugia, Lourdes; Sammut, Charles V. (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 ... -
