A hybrid method for tissue imaging using dielectric and elastic properties is proposed and investigated with simple bi-layered breast model. In this method, local harmonic motion is generated in the tissue using a focused ultrasound probe. A narrow-band microwave signal is transmitted to the tissue. The Doppler component of the scattered signal, which depends on the dielectric and elastic properties of the vibrating region, is sensed. A plane-wave spectrum technique is used together with reciprocity theorem for calculating the response of a vibrating electrically small spherical tumor in breast tissue. The effects of operating frequency, antenna alignment and distance, and tumor depth on the received signal are presented. The effect of harmonic motion frequency on the vibration amplitude and displacement distribution is investigated with mechanical simulations using the finite element method. The safety of the method is analyzed in terms of microwave and ultrasound exposure of the breast tissue. The results show that the method has a potential in detecting tumors inside fibro-glandular breast tissue.

Data Acquisition System for Harmonic Motion Microwave Doppler Imaging
Tafreshi, Azadeh Kamali; Karadas, Muersel; Top, Can Baris; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (2014-08-30)
Harmonic Motion Microwave Doppler Imaging (HMMDI) is a hybrid method proposed for breast tumor detection, which images the coupled dielectric and elastic properties of the tissue. In this paper, the performance of a data acquisition system for HMMDI method is evaluated on breast phantom materials. A breast fat phantom including fibro-glandular and tumor phantom regions is produced. The phantom is excited using a focused ultrasound probe and a microwave transmitter. The received microwave signal level is mea...
Microwave Sensing of Acoustically Induced Local Harmonic Motion: Experimental and Simulation Studies on Breast Tumor Detection
top, Can Baris; TAFRESHI, Azadeh Kamali; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (2016-11-01)
Sensing acoustically induced local harmonic motion using a microwave transceiver system may provide useful information for detecting nonpalpable tumors in dense breast tissue. For this purpose, we propose the harmonic motion microwave Doppler imaging method, in which the first harmonic of the phase modulated signal due to local harmonic motion is sensed. This signal is related to the dielectric, elastic, and acoustic properties of the vibrating region. The purpose of this paper is twofold: 1) to demonstrate...

IRGIN, Umit; TOP, Can Baris; TAFRESHI, Azadeh Kamali; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (2017-02-08)
Harmonic Motion Microwave Doppler Imaging method, which was proposed as an alternative method for breast tumor detection, is a combination of microwave radar and focused ultrasound techniques yielding data depending on electrical and mechanical properties of the tissue. In this study, Harmonic Motion Microwave Doppler Imaging data from a small tumor inside homogeneous fat is analyzed as a function of tumor location on three orthogonal planes using Finite Difference Time Domain simulations. The results show ...
Harmonic Motion Microwave Doppler Imaging method for breast tumor detection
Top, Can Baris; Tafreshi, Azadeh Kamali; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (2014-08-30)
Harmonic Motion Microwave Doppler Imaging (HMMDI) method is recently proposed as a non-invasive hybrid breast imaging technique for tumor detection. The acquired data depend on acoustic, elastic and electromagnetic properties of the tissue. The potential of the method is analyzed with simulation studies and phantom experiments. In this paper, the results of these studies are summarized. It is shown that HMMDI method has a potential to detect malignancies inside fibro-glandular tissue.
Experimental results for 2D magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MR-EIT) using magnetic flux density in one direction
Birgul, O; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Ider, YZ (IOP Publishing, 2003-11-07)
Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MR-EIT) is an emerging imaging technique that reconstructs conductivity images using magnetic flux density measurements acquired employing MRI together with conventional EIT measurements. In this study, experimental MR-EIT images from phantoms with conducting and insulator objects are presented. The technique is implemented using the 0.15 T Middle East Technical University MRI system. The dc current method used in magnetic resonance current density imaging...
