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 ... -
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 ... -
Evolution of cooperation in N-player social dilemmas: The importance of being mobile
Gibbons, Maud D.; O'Riordan, Colm; Griffith, Josephine (SciTePress Digital Library, 2016)This paper addresses issues regarding the emergence of cooperation in evolutionary, spatial game-theoretic simulations. In the model considered, agents participate in a social dilemma with their neighbours and have the ... -
Follow flee: A contingent mobility strategy for the spatial prisoner's dilemma
Gibbons, Maud D.; O'Riordan, Colm; Griffith, Josephine (Springer Verlag, 2016-08-10)This paper presents results from a series of experimental simulations comparing the performances of mobile strategies of agents participating in the Spatial Prisoner's Dilemma game. The contingent movement strategies Walk ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
