A Data Focusing method for Microwave Imaging of Extended Targets
This paper presents a data focusing method (DFM) to image extended targets using the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm. The restriction on the number of transmitter-receiver antennas in a microwave imaging system deteriorates profiling an extended target that comprises many point scatterers. Under such situation, the subspace-based linear inverse scattering methods, like the MUSI...
متن کاملObservation of Proximity Resonances in a Parallel-Plate Waveguide
Experiments with dielectric scatterers in a parallel-plate waveguide have verified for the first time the existence of proximity resonances in two dimensions. A numerical solution to the scattering problem supports the analysis of the experimental data. It has recently been shown that two resonant s-wave scatterers placed close together produce two resonances in the spectrum of the combined sys...
متن کاملCT-guided laser probe for ablation of brain tumors
In this study, 22 patients (15-75 years old) were selected and transferred to CT scan for tumor ablation. For ablations, after prep and drep under the local anesthesia and mild sedation in proper position, small incision made and special needle inserted and guided by proper direction to the core of the tumor. Then, laser probe inserted through the needle and laser energy delivered. Although we ...
متن کاملMultifaceted terahertz applications of parallel-plate waveguide: TE1 mode
Presented is a review of recent work by the authors in which the lowestorder transverse-electric (TE1) mode of a parallel-plate waveguide (PPWG) is used for terahertz (THz) applications. This work adds a new dimension to the multitude of diverse THz applications made possible by PPWGs. Using the TE1 mode, demonstration is presented of an ultra-low loss THz waveguide, a highly sensitive microflu...
متن کاملTetraphenylphosphonium as a novel molecular probe for imaging tumors.
UNLABELLED Mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsim)-dependent enhanced uptake of phosphonium salts, including (3)H-tetraphenylphosphonium ((3)H-TPP), in tumor cells, suggests the potential use of phosphonium salts as tracers for tumor imaging. In this study, we characterize the tumor accumulation of (3)H-TPP and compare it with (18)F-FDG in cell culture and in xenograft, metastatic, and inf...
