Electromagnetic Induction Imaging: Theory and Biomedical Applications

This monograph offers comprehensive descriptions of recent investigations
on the development and biomedical applications of electromagnetic
(EM ) induction imaging which enables scientists and engineers
to use EM imaging techniques to develop medical diagnostic and radiotherapy
instruments. This book focus on the following areas:
- Chapter 1 reviews various medical screening and sensing
approaches for cancer detection. Imaging techniques and their
implementation systems, advantages and challenges are presented.
Furthermore, biosensing and biomarker techniques have been
introduced for various cancer markers detection.
- Chapter 2 summaries several EM induction imaging techniques,
including theory, apparatus, medical applications, and challenges.
- Chapter 3 introduces a new two dimensional (2D) holographic
electromagnetic induction (HEI ) imaging approach and measurement
apparatus, which enables the scientists and engineers
to use EM signals for diagnostic applications. Serval biomedical
application examples of the proposed 2D HEI approaches
have been presented, including the dielectric object, brain stroke
detection, and lung cancer detection.
- Chapter 4 presents the development of three dimensional (3D)
HEI approach and its feasibility for brain stroke detection. The
chapter also presents imaging algorithm, numerical system, simulation
validations, and results of the proposed 3D HEI .
- Chapter 5 aims to apply a new compressive sensing technique to
solve the conventional EM imaging such as microwave imaging
problems including super-resolution and fusion of images. This
chapter presents a compressive sensing-based microwave imaging
approach for rapid diagnosis of dielectric inclusions embedded
in a multilayer object.
- Chapter 6 reports the development of a radio frequency antenna
for microwave liver tumor ablation.
- Chapter 7 concludes the book and discussions of future research
directions of EM induction imaging-based techniques.
