Electromagnetic Induction Imaging

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.
