Microwave tomography (MWT) can be used as an alternative modality for monitoring human
bone health. Studies have found a significant dielectric contrast between healthy and …

The evaluation of the microwave imaging (MWI) prototype and imaging algorithms on
experimental bone phantoms is a precursor step before clinical testing for measuring in vivo …

Background Osteoporosis is the major cause of bone weakness and fragility in more than 10
million people in the United States. This disease causes bone fractures in the hip or spine …

A major cause of bone mass loss worldwide is osteoporosis. X-ray is considered to be the
gold-standard technique to diagnose this disease. However, there is currently a need for an …

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 …

In this paper, a preliminary numerical study is conducted to investigate the use of microwave
tomography in monitoring bone density in human lower limbs. By monitoring bone density …

Osteoporosis is one of the most common diseases that leads to bone fractures. Dual-energy
X-ray absorptiometry is currently employed to measure the bone mineral density and to …

A critical need exists for new imaging tools to more accurately characterize bone quality
beyond the conventional modalities of dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA), ultrasound …

This study analyses the dispersion behavior of microwave signals passing through
biological tissues by considering various electromagnetic relaxation phenomena. The …

We are developing a microwave imaging system for interrogating the calcaneus bone as a
way of monitoring bone health progression in diseases such as osteoporosis. We have …
