This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electromagnetism refers to the force of electric and magnetic fields which is frequently used in various technologies. Electromagnetic technologies are also used in medical imaging and diagnostics. The advancements in electromagnetic engineering such as computational methods, imaging theory and algorithms, measurement techniques, etc. have led to the development of this technology. Such advancements have led to development of low-cost, portable, and accurate microwave sensing/imaging systems which can help in overcoming various challenges existing in medical diagnostics. Currently, the electromagnetism research is focused on the use of microwave technologies in medical imaging and diagnostics. Microwave medical imaging makes use of the prominent dielectric contrast between healthy and disease-affected tissues to detect a pathological condition. The objective of microwave sensing technology is to monitor physiological parameters such as heart-rate, or disease-related biomarkers in the blood. A new medical application named microwave tomography is emerging as an effective means to monitor thermal ablation. In this book, various advancements in electromagnetic technology having applications in medical diagnostics have been looked at in detail. Medical researchers, scientists and students actively engaged in this field will find it full of crucial and unexplored concepts.

Download or read book Inverse Methods in Electromagnetic Imaging written by W.M Boerner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-08-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "Inverse Methods in Electro magnetic Imaging" has come at a time of greatly increased interest in using electromagnetic imaging methods as tools for remote sens ing, material testing and medical diagnosis. Spurred by a combina tion of recent advances in sensor and device technology spanning the entire m-to-sub-mm wavelengths, the infra-red, optical, ultraviolet and x-ray regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, the rapid devel opment of radar polarimetry including the deployment of active/pas sive sensors on spacecraft platforms, it has become evident that these advanced imaging techniques can only then become useful when supported by well-developed inverse scattering theories for proper consistent and efficient data interpretation. However, these data interpretative techniques, which are urgently needed in several mil itary and civilian areas, are in many aspects not yet completely de veloped. Thus, the main purpose of this NATO-ARW-IMEI-1983 was to bring together internationally renowned key experts of this new scientific discipline of Inverse Methods in Electromagnetic Imaging and have them prepare well-written overviews, treatises on new areas, papers on special topics; have them deliberate on still unre sovled problems in worki~g discussion groups, and then report back on their important findings to the entire NATO Scientific Community in dealing with these exciting current developments.
