    • Dielectric properties of bones: A potential indicator for osteoporosis 

      Amin, Bilal; Elahi, Muhammad Adnan; Porter, Emily; Shahzad, Atif; O'Halloran, Martin (National University of Ireland Galway, 2018-01-26)
      Osteoporosis is one of the major bone disease that results into bone fragility and fractures. Approximately 300,000 people over the age of 50 years suffer from osteoporosis in Ireland. Osteoporosis is mainly caused due ...

    • A feasibility study on microwave imaging of bone for osteoporosis monitoring 

      Amin, Bilal; Shahzad, Atif; Crocco, Lorenzo; Wang, Mengchu; O'Halloran, Martin; González-Suárez, Ana; Elahi, Muhammad Adnan (Springer, 2021-03-30)
      The dielectric properties of bones are found to be influenced by the demineralisation of bones. Therefore, microwave imaging (MWI) can be used to monitor in vivo dielectric properties of human bones and hence aid in the ...

    • A multistage selective weighting method for improved microwave breast tomography 

      Shahzad, Atif; O'Halloran, Martin; Jones, Edward; Glavin, Martin (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 ...

    • Optimised analytical models of the dielectric properties of biological tissue 

      Salahuddin, Saqib; Porter, Emily; Krewer, Finn; O’Halloran, Martin (Elsevier, 2017-02-09)
      The interaction of electromagnetic fields with the human body is quantified by the dielectric properties of biological tissues. These properties are incorporated into complex numerical simulations using parametric models ...
