Use Of Wideband Microwave Imaging And Detection Of Brain...

The use of wideband microwave imaging could potentially be used to diagnose brain injuries. Brain injuries are common in today’s world and can lead to many health concerns, such as illness, disabilities, and even death. Brain injuries can come in many forms, such as contusions, strokes, tumours, infections, and diseases to name a few. Brain injuries, however, can progress over time if not monitored. This increases the demand for quick and immediate diagnosis and management for injuries. This is where the use of wideband microwave imaging comes into use. Essentially, it could provide a way to perform head imaging in a timely manner and can thus produce a treatment method for patients quickly. Imaging technologies do exist that are able to perform scans of the brain for detection of brain injuries. Some of these, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are used for the imaging of Alzheimer disease. (Johnson et al 1) But issues arise with these tech nologies due to their cost, time consumption, size, and lack of mobility. So development of the use of a wideband microwave imaging system could lead to various solutions to the aforementioned issues of the other technologies. For example, the wideband microwave imaging system could be developed for on the go use and could be used for constant monitoring of patients with head injuries. This is just one a few advantageous perspectives of developing a wideband microwave imaging system.
