Abstract:Microwave imaging (MWI) can be used as an alternate imaging modality for monitoring bone health. Evaluation and characterization of MWI prototype is a precursor step before in vivo investigation of bone dielectric properties. This paper presents experimental evaluation of a novel two layered simplified cylindrical shaped 3D printed human calcaneus bone phantom along with corresponding MWI prototype designed to image the bone phantom. The shape of the calcaneus bone was approximated with a cylinder. The externa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
