A new data acquisition system has been developed. This system measures the external magnetic fields due to induced currents in the body at a relatively low operation, frequency of 50 kHz. Data is obtained by scanning a 2-D area on the body surface. For each transmitter position, a single sample (averaged) of the field distribution is used for image reconstruction. The Steepest Descent Algorithm is used to solve the inverse problem related to the field profiles. High-resolution images of agar blocks and an anesthetized leech are presented. The system sensitivity is measured as 13.2 mV/(S/m) using saline solution phantoms and as 155 V/S using resistors. The signal to noise ratio in the measurements is calculated to be 35.44 dB. The linearity in the measurements is explored using saline solutions in the biological conductivity range. The nonlinearity is measured to be 3.96% of the full scale. The nonlinearity is found to be 0.12% when resistor phantoms are used. The spatial resolution in the conductivity images is measured as 9.36 mm for a 7.5-mm-diameter cylindrical agar object. The results show that it is possible to distinguish two bars separated 14.4 mm from each other.

Electrical conductivity imaging via contactless measurements
Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1999-07-01)
A new imaging modality is introduced to image electrical conductivity of biological tissues via contactless measurements. This modality uses magnetic excitation to induce currents inside the body and measures the magnetic fields of the induced currents. In this study, the mathematical basis of the methodology is analyzed and numerical models are developed to simulate the imaging system. The induced currents are expressed using the (A) over right arrow-phi formulation of the electric field where (A) over rig...
Electrical conductivity Imaging via contactless measurements: An experimental study
KARBEYAZ, BAŞAK ÜLKER; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2003-05-01)
A data-acquisition system has been developed to image electrical conductivity of biological tissues via contactless measurements. This system uses magnetic excitation to induce currents inside the body and measures the resulting magnetic fields. The data-acquisition system is constructed using a PC-controlled lock-in amplifier instrument. A magnetically coupled differential coil is used to scan conducting phantoms by a computer controlled scanning system. A 10000-turn differential coil system with circular ...
Density based clustering using mathematical morphology
Erdem, Coşku; Çetin, Yasemin; Department of Information Systems (2007)
Improvements in technology, enables us to store large amounts of data in warehouses. In parallel, the need for processing this vast amount of raw data and translating it into interpretable information also increases. A commonly used solution method for the described problem in data mining is clustering. We propose "Density Based Clustering Using Mathematical Morphology" (DBCM) algorithm as an effective clustering method for extracting arbitrary shaped clusters of noisy numerical data in a reasonable time. T...
Direct Reconstruction of Pharmacokinetic-Rate Images of Optical Fluorophores From NIR Measurements
Alacam, Burak; Yazici, Birsen (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-09-01)
In this paper, we present a new method to form pharmacokinetic-rate images of optical fluorophores directly from near infra-red (NIR) boundary measurements. We first derive a mapping from spatially resolved pharmacokinetic rates to NIR boundary measurements by combining compartmental modeling with a diffusion based NIR photon propagation model. We express this mapping as a state-space equation. Next, we introduce a spatio-temporal prior model for the pharmacokinetic-rate images and combine it with the state...
Sector Scanning Attempts for Non-Isolation in Directional 60 GHz Networks
Olcer, Gencay Mutlu; Genc, Zulkuf; Onur, Ertan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010-09-01)
Large path losses of millimeter waves restrain the acceptance of 60 GHz technology in future networks. Directional antennas can be exploited in 60 GHz networks to mitigate the detrimental impact of fading. Employing fully directional antennas complicates the neighbor discovery process where each sector must be probed individually to discover neighbors located in that sector. In random scanning strategy, nodes select to-be-scanned sector randomly. In this letter, we analyze the minimum number of random secto...
