An experimental system for detection and localization of hemorrhage using ultra-wideband microwaves with deep learning.

ABSTRACT: Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability. Emergent diagnosis and intervention are critical, and predicated upon initial brain imaging; however, existing clinical imaging modalities are generally costly, immobile, and demand highly specialized operation and interpretation. Low-energy microwaves have been explored as low-cost, small form factor, fast, and safe probes of tissue dielectric properties, with both imaging and diagnostic potential. Nevertheless, challenges inherent to microwave reconstruction have impeded progress, hence microwave imaging (MWI) remains an elusive scientific aim. Herein, we introduce a dedicated experimental framework comprising a robotic navigation system to translate blood-mimicking phantoms within an anatomically realistic human head model. An 8-ele
