Positive margins are common in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, yet intraoperative re-resection is often imprecise because margin locations are typically communicated verbally from pathology. We present an all-in-one augmented reality…

The wavefront measurement of a light beam is a complex task, which often requires a series of spatially resolved intensity measurements. For instance, a detector array may be used to measure the local phase gradient in the transverse plane…

Cancer remains a significant health challenge worldwide, with a new diagnosis occurring every two minutes in the UK. Surgery is one of the main treatment options for cancer. However, surgeons rely on the sense of touch and naked eye with…

Diffuse optical breast imaging utilizes near-infrared (NIR) light propagation through tissues to assess the optical properties of tissue for the identification of abnormal tissue. This optical imaging approach is sensitive, cost-effective,…

This paper introduces a method for estimating the shape and location of an embedded tumor. The approach utilizes shape optimization techniques, applying the coupled complex boundary method. By rewriting the problem -- characterized by a…

In healthcare, it is essential to explain the decision-making process of machine learning models to establish the trustworthiness of clinicians. This paper introduces BI-RADS-Net, a novel explainable deep learning approach for cancer…

Purpose: An investigation of the challenge of annotating discrete segmentations of brain tumours in ultrasound, with a focus on the issue of aleatoric uncertainty along the tumour margin, particularly for diffuse tumours. A segmentation…

Intra-operative identification of malignant versus benign or healthy tissue is a major challenge in fluorescence guided cancer surgery. We propose a perfusion quantification method for computer-aided interpretation of subtle differences in…

The motivation of this work is the detection of cerebrovascular accidents by microwave tomographic imaging. This requires the solution of an inverse problem relying on a minimization algorithm (for example, gradient-based), where successive…

Purpose: Cell size is a fundamental characteristic of all tissues, and changes in cell size in cancer reflect tumor status and response to treatments, such as apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Unfortunately, cell size can only be obtained by…

In this paper, a novel method to enhance Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) THz imaging resolution beyond its diffraction limit is proposed. Our method comprises two stages. Firstly, we reconstruct the signal in depth-direction…

Interval and large invasive breast cancers, which are associated with worse prognosis than other cancers, are usually detected at a late stage due to false negative assessments of screening mammograms. The missed screening-time detection is…

Complete surgical resection of the tumor for Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains challenging, given the devastating side effects of aggressive surgery and the anatomic proximity to vital structures. To address the clinical…

We present an experimental setup and methodology designed to facilitate high-precision thermal measurements required for infrared medical tomography. The approach which is best suited for the study of specialized hardware phantoms comprises…

Early diagnosis of prostate cancer significantly improves a patient's 5-year survival rate. Biopsy of small prostate cancers is improved with image-guided biopsy. MRI-ultrasound fusion-guided biopsy is sensitive to smaller tumors but is…

PURPOSE: Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) with spiral readout enables rapid quantification of tissue relaxation times. However, it is prone to blurring due to off-resonance effects. Hence, fat blurring into adjacent regions might…

This paper proposes the combination of SAR and microwave reflection tomography for biomedical imaging applications. The proposed method can achieve accuracies of less than 5mm and does not suffer from instability during reconstruction.…

Microwave reflectance probed photoconductivity (or $\mu$-PCD) measurement represents a contactless and non-invasive method to characterize impurity content in semiconductors. Major drawbacks of the method include a difficult separation of…

In this study, four different techniques are presented. 1 Rectangular waveguide measurement technique for normal microwave materials microwave properties such as permeability and permittivity. This technique removed guess parameter and…

Thick biological tissues give rise to not only the scattering of incoming light waves, but also aberrations of the remaining unscattered waves. Due to the inability of existing optical imaging methodologies to overcome both of these…
