Pre-operative lung ablation prediction using deep learning.

European radiology
OBJECTIVE: Microwave lung ablation (MWA) is a minimally invasive and inexpensive alternative cancer treatment for patients who are not candidates for surgery/radiotherapy. However, a major challenge for MWA is its relatively high tumor recurrence rat...

Multimodality quantitative ultrasound envelope statistics imaging based support vector machines for characterizing tissue scatterer distribution patterns: Methods and application in detecting microwave-induced thermal lesions.

Ultrasonics sonochemistry
Ultrasound envelope statistics imaging, including ultrasound Nakagami imaging, homodyned-K imaging, and information entropy imaging, is an important group of quantitative ultrasound techniques for characterizing tissue scatterer distribution patterns...

Perioperative and Survival Outcomes of Patients Treated With Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy and Percutaneous Microwave Ablation for Small Renal Masses: A Single Center Experience.

Clinical genitourinary cancer
BACKGROUND: Robot assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and microwave ablation (MWA) are 2 of the most advanced techniques for the management of localized small renal masses.

Deep-Learning-Enabled Microwave-Induced Thermoacoustic Tomography Based on ResAttU-Net for Transcranial Brain Hemorrhage Detection.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Hemorrhagic stroke is a leading threat to human's health. The fast-developing microwave-induced thermoacoustic tomography (MITAT) technique holds potential to do brain imaging. However, transcranial brain imaging based on MITAT is still ch...

Brain Tumor Segmentation and Classification from Sensor-Based Portable Microwave Brain Imaging System Using Lightweight Deep Learning Models.

Biosensors
Automated brain tumor segmentation from reconstructed microwave (RMW) brain images and image classification is essential for the investigation and monitoring of the progression of brain disease. The manual detection, classification, and segmentation ...

A Lightweight Deep Learning Based Microwave Brain Image Network Model for Brain Tumor Classification Using Reconstructed Microwave Brain (RMB) Images.

Biosensors
Computerized brain tumor classification from the reconstructed microwave brain (RMB) images is important for the examination and observation of the development of brain disease. In this paper, an eight-layered lightweight classifier model called micr...

An Effective Framework for Deep-Learning-Enhanced Quantitative Microwave Imaging and Its Potential for Medical Applications.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Microwave imaging is emerging as an alternative modality to conventional medical diagnostics technologies. However, its adoption is hindered by the intrinsic difficulties faced in the solution of the underlying inverse scattering problem, namely non-...

Factors affecting energy efficiency of microwave drying of foods: an updated understanding.

Critical reviews in food science and nutrition
Microwave drying (MWD) is an efficient dielectric drying method in food, with advantages such as volumetric heating, fast drying, safety, and good product quality. As a key indicator of a dryer's market value, energy efficiency is of concern to selle...

Antenna Excitation Optimization with Deep Learning for Microwave Breast Cancer Hyperthermia.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Microwave hyperthermia (MH) requires the effective calibration of antenna excitations for the selective focusing of the microwave energy on the target region, with a nominal effect on the surrounding tissue. To this end, many different antenna calibr...

Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Robots Powered and Controlled by Microwaves.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Microwaves have become a promising wireless driving strategy due to the advantages of transmissivity through obstacles, fast energy targeting, and selective heating. Although there are some studies on microwave powered artificial muscles based on dif...
