Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging
  • Electromagnetics

Background:

  • Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) pose significant patient and societal burdens, necessitating early diagnosis and continuous monitoring.
  • Conventional imaging techniques (CT, MRI, PET) for NDs are costly and have limited accessibility.
  • Microwave sensing and imaging (MSI) presents a promising non-invasive alternative for monitoring pathological changes, such as lateral ventricle enlargement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel dual-planar monopole antenna-based remote sensing system for neurodegenerative disease monitoring.
  • To assess the feasibility of using MSI for detecting brain abnormalities associated with NDs.
  • To provide a low-cost, convenient tool for long-term monitoring of ND patients.

Main Methods:

  • Design and simulation of dual-planar monopole antennas using CST Studio Suite.
  • Comprehensive antenna analysis including reflection coefficient, gain, radiation pattern, and SAR.
  • Integration of antennas into a remote sensing system and experimental validation using brain phantoms and a vector network analyzer.
  • Application of a radar-based imaging algorithm for reconstructing brain abnormality images.

Main Results:

  • The designed antennas exhibited suitable characteristics for MSI applications.
  • The developed remote sensing system successfully reconstructed images indicating brain abnormalities in phantoms.
  • The system demonstrated potential for non-invasive detection of lateral ventricle enlargement.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed dual-planar monopole antenna-based MSI system is a viable low-cost and efficient tool for long-term neurodegenerative disease monitoring.
  • This technology can be particularly beneficial in clinical settings and care homes.
  • MSI offers a convenient and accessible approach to complement existing diagnostic methods for NDs.
