Broadband dielectric properties of adrenal gland for accurate anatomical modelling in medical applications
Shahzad, Atif; Clausing, D.; Prakash, Punit; Dennedy, Michael C.; O'Halloran, Martin (IEEE, 2017-09-11)Dielectric properties of biological tissue are important in safety assessment and evaluation of novel medical imaging and therapeutic devices. This paper reports frequency dependent dielectric properties of adrenal tissue, ... -
Classification applied to brain haemorrhage detection: Initial phantom studies using electrical impedance measurements
McDermott, Barry; O'Halloran, Martin; Santorelli, Adam; McGinley, Brian; Porter, Emily (EIT2018, 2018-06-11)Machine learning and classification algorithms are applied to data collected from an EIT system. The system is used with an anatomically accurate head phantom setup in a variety of situations modelling normal and haemorrhagic ... -
Experimental evaluation of the effective ablation zone on ex-vivo bovine liver samples
Bottiglieri, Anna; Elahi, Adnan; Shahzad, Atif; Donlon, Padraig T.; Dennedy, Michael C.; O'Halloran, Martin (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 ... -
A novel tissue-mimicking material for phantom development in medical applications of EIT
McDermott, Barry; Porter, Emily; Jones, Marggie; McGinley, Brian; O'Halloran, Martin (EIT2017, 2017-06-21)A solid Tissue-Mimicking Material (TMM) with adjustable conductivity properties, which can be matched to those of biological tissue, is presented. TMM models of breast fat and gland matching the conductivity of real tissue ... -
Realistic 3D finite element mesh of the adult human pelvis for electrical impedance tomography
Dunne, Eoghan; Porter, Emily; McGinley, Brian; O'Halloran, Martin (Zenodo, 2017-06-21)The finite element method is a numerical technique used to solve forward models for electrical impedance tomography. To date, realistic finite element models (FEMs) have been created for the head and thorax, but pelvic ... -
Tackling hypertension via adrenal ablation-the development of novel immunohistochemical ablation biomarkers
Donlon, Padraig T.; Shahzad, Atif; Eaton-Evans, Jimmy; Ruvio, Giuseppe; Prakash, Punit; O'Halloran, Martin; Dennedy, Michael C. (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 ... -
Technological requirements for microwave ablation of adrenal masses
Fallahi, Hojjatollah; Shahzad, Atif; Clausing, Daniel; O’Halloran, Martin; Dennedy, Michael Conall; Prakash, Punit (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 ...
