Effect of logarithmic and linear frequency scales on parametric modelling of tissue dielectric data
(IOP Publishing, 2017-02-03)
The dielectric properties of biological tissues have been studied widely over the past half-century. These properties are used in a vast array of applications, from determining the safety of wireless telecommunication ...
Gamma band neural stimulation in humans and the promise of a new modality to prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease
(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 ...
Brain haemorrhage detection using a SVM classifier with electrical impedance tomography measurement frames
(Public Library of Science, 2018-07-12)
Brain haemorrhages often require urgent treatment with a consequent need for quick and accurate diagnosis. Therefore, in this study, we investigate Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers for detecting brain haemorrhages ...
Stable tissue-mimicking materials and an anatomically realistic, adjustable head phantom for electrical impedance tomography
(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 ...
Anatomically and dielectrically realistic microwave head phantom with circulation and reconfigurable lesions
(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 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 ...
Adaptive artifact removal for selective multistatic microwave breast imaging signals
(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 ...
A realistic pelvic phantom for electrical impedance measurement
(IOP Publishing, 2018-03-15)
Objective: To design and fabricate an anatomically and conductively accurate phantom for electrical impedance studies of non-invasive bladder volume monitoring.
Approach: A modular pelvic phantom was designed and fabricated, ...
Symmetry difference electrical impedance tomography-a novel modality for anomaly detection
(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 ...
Investigation of histology region in dielectric measurements of heterogeneous tissues
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-08-17)
The dielectric properties of tissues are the key parameters in electromagnetic medical technologies. Despite the apparent simplicity of the dielectric measurement process, reported data have been inconsistent for heterogeneous ...
