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 ... -
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 ... -
Stable tissue-mimicking materials and an anatomically realistic, adjustable head phantom for electrical impedance tomography
McDermott, Barry; McGinley, Brian; Krukiewicz, Katarzyna; Divilly, Brendan; Jones, Marggie; Biggs, Manus; O'Halloran, Martin; Porter, Emily (IOP Publishing, 2017-11-27)Objective. To develop dielectrically accurate, easy to mould solid tissue-mimicking materials (TMMs) for use with electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and combine them into a head phantom with realistic anatomy and ... -
Symmetry difference electrical impedance tomography-a novel modality for anomaly detection
McDermott, Barry; Porter, Emily; Jones, Marggie; McGinley, Brian; O'Halloran, Martin (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 ...
