Adaptive artifact removal for selective multistatic microwave breast imaging signals
Elahi, Muhammad Adnan; Glavin, Martin; Jones, Edward; O'Halloran, Martin (Elsevier, 2017-02-01)Microwave imaging is one of the most promising alternative breast imaging modalities. Early-stage artifact removal is an important signal processing component of a microwave breast imaging system. In this paper, a monostatic ... -
Challenges of post-measurement histology for the dielectric characterisation of heterogeneous biological tissues
La Gioia, Alessandra; O'Halloran, Martin; Porter, Emily (MDPI, 2020-06-09)The dielectric properties of biological tissues are typically measured using the open-ended coaxial probe technique, which is based on the assumption that the tissue sample is homogeneous. Therefore, for heterogeneous ... -
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 ... -
Exploiting tissue dielectric properties to shape microwave thermal ablation zones
Bottiglieri, Anna; Ruvio, Giuseppe; O’Halloran, Martin; Farina, Laura (MDPI, 2020-07-16)The dielectric characterization of tissue targets of microwave thermal ablation (MTA) have improved the efficacy and pre-procedural planning of treatment. In some clinical scenarios the tissue target lies at the interface ... -
Investigation of histology radius for dielectric characterisation of heterogeneous materials
La Gioia, Alessandra; O'Halloran, Martin; Elahi, Muhammad Adnan; Porter, Emily (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-07-13)Knowledge of the dielectric properties of biological tissues is fundamental in the design of novel electromagnetic-based medical devices. Tissue dielectric properties are typically measured using the open-ended coaxial ... -
Performance of leading artifact removal algorithms assessed across microwave breast imaging prototype scan configurations
Elahi, Muhammad Adnan; Curtis, C.; Lavoie, B.R.; Glavin, Martin; Jones, Edward; Fear, E.; O’Halloran, Martin (Elsevier, 2017-03-02)Microwave imaging is a promising imaging modality for the detection of early-stage breast cancer. One of the most important signal processing components of microwave radar-based breast imaging is early stage artifact ... -
A URI is worth a thousand tags: From tagging to linked data with MOAT
Passant, Alexandre; Laublet, Philippe; Breslin, John G.; Decker, Stefan (IGI Global, 2009)Although tagging is a widely accepted practice on the Social Web, it raises various issues like tags ambiguity and heterogeneity, as well as the lack of organization between tags. We believe that Semantic Web technologies ...
