An Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna Design for Torso Imaging in a Coupling Medium
(IEEE, 2021) Çayören, Mehmet; Bilgin, Egemen; Joof, Sulayman; Doğu, Semih
An antipodal Vivaldi antenna designed to operate in a coupling medium with a relative dielectric constant of epsilon(r) = 25 for microwave imaging of torso is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna is similar to the conventional antipodal Vivaldi antenna but with optimized parameters to radiate in the desired coupling medium. The antenna has a size of 120x70 mm(2) and operating over 230-1000 MHz frequency bandwidth with a peak gain of 5.42 dBi and peak front-to-back ratio of 143 dB. The designed antenna shows a better performance compared to other antennas used for microwave torso imaging. To assess the actual performance, a realistic human torso phantom is implemented to detect the water accumulation in the lungs, and as the inversion method linear sampling method is used. The 3-D reconstruction results show that the proposed antenna can be a candidate for microwave torso imaging applications.

A Modified Newton Method Formulation for Microwave Imaging
(IEEE, 2020) Coşğun, Sema; Çayören, Mehmet; Bilgin, Egemen; Doğu, Semih
A new variant of Newton type methods has been developed for quantitative microwave imaging. To deal with the ill-posedness of the inverse problems, standard Newton type methods involve a linearization of the so called data equation using the Fréchet derivative with respect to the contrast function. Here, the formulation is expanded to include the object equation, therefore, the formulation seeks to reduce the errors in both the data and the object equations. While this modification does not remove the need to solve forward problem at each step, it nevertheless significantly improves convergence rate and the performance. To assess the efficiency of the proposed technique, numerical simulations with synthetic and experimental data have been carried out. The results demonstrate that the proposed variant outperforms the standard Newton method, and shows comparable performance to the contrast source inversion (CSI) algorithm with fewer iterations.

Monitoring of Intracerebral Hemorrhage With a Linear Microwave Imaging Algorithm
(Springer, 2022) Dilman, Ismail; Dogu, Semih; Bilgin, Egemen; Akinci, Mehmet Nuri; Cosgun, Sema; Çayören, Mehmet; Akduman, Ibrahim
Intracerebral hemorrhage is a life-threatening condition where conventional imaging modalities such as CT and MRI are indispensable in diagnosing. Nevertheless, monitoring the evolution of intracerebral hemorrhage still poses a technological challenge. We consider continuous monitoring of intracerebral hemorrhage in this context and present a differential microwave imaging scheme based on a linearized inverse scattering. Our aim is to reconstruct non-anatomical maps that reveal the volumetric evolution of hemorrhage by using the differences between consecutive electric field measurements. This approach can potentially allow the monitoring of intracerebral hemorrhage in a real-time and cost-effective manner. Here, we devise an indicator function, which reveals the position, volumetric growth, and shrinkage of hemorrhage. Later, the method is numerically tested via a 3D anthropomorphic dielectric head model. Through several simulations performed for different locations of intracerebral hemorrhage, the indicator function-based technique is demonstrated to be capable of detecting the changes accurately. Finally, the robustness under noisy conditions is analyzed to assess the feasibility of the method. This analysis suggests that the method can be used to monitor the evolution of intracerebral hemorrhage in real-world scenarios.

Feasibility of Distorted Born Iterative Method for Detecting Early Stage of Heart Failure
(IEEE, 2020) Akıncı, Mehmet Nuri; Bilgin, Egemen; Joof, Sulayman; Doğu, Semih
In this paper, we analyze the feasibility of using microwaves to detect early stage of congestive heart failure, which causes water accumulation in the lungs. To this aim, a slice from realistic human torso phantom, which consists of all human tissues and organs, is considered. Constitutive parameters of the phantom are calculated by multiple order Cole-Cole model at operating frequency. Then, the scattered field is calculated via method of moment and a 30 dB additive white Gaussian noise is added to create a more realistic scenario. In the solution of inverse scattering phase, distorted Born iterative method is utilized. The presented results show the feasibility of the proposed method.

A Microwave Imaging Scheme for Detection of Pulmonary Edema and Hemorrhage
(IEEE, 2022) Ertek, Didem; Kucuk, Gokhan; Bilgin, Egemen
The microwave imaging systems have the potential to present a cost effective and less hazardous alternative to conventional medical imaging techniques. In this paper, a Contrast Source Inversion method based microwave imaging scheme is proposed and tested for the detection of pulmonary edema and hemorrhage. To this end, a realistic human torso phantom is used, and the electromagnetic parameters of the human tissues is determined via Cole-Cole model. The scattered field is simulated via Method of Moments at the operating frequency of 350 MHz, and a 50 dB white Gaussian noise is added to model a realistic measurement setup. The numerical tests performed with the proposed technique suggest that the method can be used to locate the pulmonary edema and hemorrhage, and it is capable of distinguishing these two medical conditions successfully.

Single-Slice Microwave Imaging of Breast Cancer by Reverse Time Migration
(Wiley, 2022) Bilgin, Egemen; Cansız, Gökhan; Akduman, İbrahim; Cayoren, Mehmet; Joof, Sulayman; Yılmaz, Tuba
Purpose Microwave imaging of breast cancer is considered and a new microwave imaging prototype including the imaging algorithm, the antenna array, and the measurement configuration is presented. The prototype aims to project the geometrical features of the anomalies inside the breast to a single-slice image at the coronal plane depending on the complex dielectric permittivity variation among the tissues to aid the diagnosis . Methods The imaging prototype uses a solid cylindrical dielectric platform, where a total of 24 optimized Vivaldi antennas are embedded inside to form a uniform circular antenna array. The center of the platform is carved to create a hollow part for placement of the breast and the multistatic, microwave scattering parameters are collected with the antenna array around the hollow center. The dielectric platform further enhances the microwave impedance matching against the breast fat tissue and preserves the vertical polarization during the measurements. In the imaging phase, a computationally efficient inverse electromagnetic scattering method-reverse time migration (RTM)-is considered and adapted in terms of scattering parameters to comply with the actual measurements. Results The prototype system is experimentally tested against tissue-mimicking breast phantoms with realistic dielectric permittivity profiles. The reconstructed single-slice images accurately determined the locations and the geometrical extents of the tumor phantoms. These experiments not only verified the microwave imaging prototype but also provided the first experimental results of the imaging algorithm. Conclusions The presented prototype system implementing the RTM method is capable of reconstructing single-slice, nonanatomical images, where the hotspots correspond to the geometrical projections of the anomalies inside the breast.

Microwave Imaging of Breast Cancer With Factorization Method: Spions as Contrast Agent
(Wiley, 2020) Çayӧren, Mehmet; Coşğun, Sema; Bilgin, Egemen; Cayoren, Mehmet
Female breast at macroscopic scale is a non-magnetic medium, which eliminates the possibility of realizing microwave imaging of the breast cancer based on magnetic permeability variations. However, by administering functionalized, superparamagnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles (SPION) as a contrast material to modulate magnetic permeability of cancer cells, a small variation on the scattered electric field from the breast is achievable under an external, polarizing magnetic field. PURPOSE: We demonstrate an imaging technique that can locate cancerous tumors inside the breast due to electric field variations caused by SPION tracers under different magnetic field intensities. Furthermore, we assess the feasibility of SPION enhanced microwave imaging for breast cancer with simulations performed on a multi-static imaging configuration. METHODS: The imaging procedure is realized as the factorization method of qualitative inverse scattering theory, which is essentially a shape retrieval algorithm for inaccessible objects. The formulation is heuristically modified to accommodate the scattering parameters instead of the electric field to comply with the requirements of experimental microwave imaging systems. RESULTS:With full-wave electromagnetic simulations performed on an anthropomorphically realistic breast phantom, which is excited with a cylindrical imaging prototype of 18 dipole antenna arranged as a single row, the technique is able to locate cancerous tumors for a experimentally achievable doses. CONCLUSIONS: The technique generates non-anatomic microwave images, which maps the cancerous tumors depending on concentration of SPION tracers, to aid the diagnosis of the breast cancer.
Differential Microwave Imaging of Cerebral Hemorrhage Via Dort Method
(IEEE, 2023) Dilman, İsmail; Bilgin, Egemen; Doğu, Semih
Bleeding in the brain tissues may cause fatal health conditions and continuous monitoring of the change in this blood accumulation becomes important in the first few hours after the incident. The continuous post-event monitoring aims to detect the variations in the size and the shape of the hemorrhage regions. To this end, the human head is illuminated by non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, and the scattered field is measured in different time instants. The decomposition of the time-reversal (DORT) method is then used as the microwave imaging algorithm to produce an indicator function. The performance of the proposed technique is assessed via numerical simulations involving a realistic human head phantom. The results suggest that the DORT method is capable of detecting the changes in multiple simultaneous cerebral hemorrhage regions successfully.
