Microwave Head Imaging for Stroke Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes an algorithm for wide-band microwave imaging for the detection of a hemorrhagic stroke. A realistic head phantom and finite-difference time-domain program are used to estimate back-scattered signals which are subsequently used in the image reconstruction process. The proposed imaging approach can lead to a portable and cost effective system; particularly suitable for rural medical clinics that lack the necessary resources in effective stroke diagnosing.

Holographic microwave imaging for medical applications
This paper presents a new 2D holographic microwave imaging array (HMIA) technique for medical imaging applications. The HMIA technique has been applied to early stage breast cancer detection and brain stroke detection. Computer models are developed to demonstrate the feasibility of detecting and localizing small brain strokes within a 2D numerical head model and breast tumours within a 3D numer...
متن کاملLevels of detail analysis of microwave scattering from human head models for brain stroke detection
In this paper, we have presented a microwave scattering analysis from multiple human head models. This study incorporates different levels of detail in the human head models and its effect on microwave scattering phenomenon. Two levels of detail are taken into account; (i) Simplified ellipse shaped head model (ii) Anatomically realistic head model, implemented using 2-D geometry. In addition, h...
متن کاملUnsupervised Segmentation of Head Tissues from Multi-Modal Magnetic Resonance Images: With Application to EEG Source Localization and Stroke Detection
The automated segmentation or labeling of individual tissues in magnetic resonance (MR) images of the human head is an essential first step in several biomedical applications. The resulting segmentation yields a patient-specific labeling of individual tissues that can be used to quantitatively characterize these tissues (e.g. in the study of Alzheimers disease and multiple sclerosis) or to assi...
متن کاملA Feasibility Study on Microwave Imaging for Brain Stroke Monitoring
The adoption of microwave imaging as a tool for noninvasive monitoring of brain stroke has recently gained increasing attention. In this respect, the paper aims at providing a twofold contribution. First, we introduce a simple design tool to devise guidelines to properly set the working frequency as well as to choose the optimum matching medium needed to facilitate the penetration of the probin...
