Microwave Head Monitor Using Compressed Sensing and Differential Techniques

该项目的目的是设计和开发一种低成本、非电离和非侵入性的微波技术，可以用于诊断和定位早产儿的早期脑损伤。它建议包括一个开关天线阵和宽带微波收发机。该系统的目标是使用压缩传感和差分成像技术的组合，在几秒钟内产生大脑的微波图像，使其成为实时监测工具。通过在保育箱一侧提供有关大脑的重要信息，拟议的紧凑型技术将避免将危重婴儿转移到昂贵而笨重的传统扫描仪上的风险，而且这些扫描仪不能作为频繁的监测工具。

The aim of this project is the design and development of a low-cost, non-ionising, and non-invasive microwave technology that can be used to diagnose and localise early brain injuries of premature newborn babies. It proposes to include a switched antenna array and wide-band microwave transceiver. The system aims to use a combination of compressed sensing and differential imaging techniques to produce, within a few seconds, microwave images of the brain making it a real-time monitoring tool. By providing vital information about the brain at the incubator side, the proposed compact technology would avoid the risky move of critically ill babies to the expensive and bulky conventional scanners which, furthermore, cannot operate as frequent monitoring tools.
