KB03: Non-ionizing Electromagnetic Medical Imaging (1)

Saturday, August 23  08:00-08:40,  Room #10

This session is devoted to non-ionizing electromagnetic (and hybrid-electromagnetic) systems for breast imaging, tissue characterization, and the detection/identification of tumors. Much progress has been made on the development of such systems ranging from very low frequencies all the way up to optical frequencies. Examples include electrical impedance tomography, microwave imaging, near-infrared tomography, and THz imaging. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to, tomographic and other image construction algorithms and experimental results from laboratory and clinical imaging systems. Breast imaging is the principal topic but other applications of similar principle are also acceptable.
