AI’s potential for Artificial Phantom Mimicking Tissue of the Human Breast Electrical Properties
National audienceIn this study, we present an assessment method of Early Breast Cancer Detection based on Artificial Intelligence (AI). This method includes prediction, setting and measurement of several human breast phantom mixtures for Microwave Imaging (MWI). These developed Breast Phantoms have realistic dielectric properties (important for Radar Microwave Imaging Systems & Ethical Non-Animal-Testing). We Developed Heterogeneous mimicking tissue architecture for mimicking Breast Tissues (Fat, Regular Fat, Gland, Body Fluid, Blood, Muscle-Tumor, Skin Dry, and Skin Wet) and tested using ultrawideband frequency (0.2 GHz-4.5 GHz) by a modern Vector Network Analyzer. Our qualitative and quantitative research includes the methodology and results for using the material's dielectric parameters and AI algorithms for emulation of real Breast Tissues for Microwave Imaging Pre-clinical trials
NMR planar microcoil for microanalysis
This article deals with the analysis of small sample volume by using a
planar microcoil and a micromachined cavity. This microcoil is used as a
nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) radio frequency detection coil in order to
perform in vitro NMR analysis of the sample introduced into the microcavity.
It is a real challenging task to develop microsystem for NMR spectrum
extraction for smaller and smaller sample volume. Moreover, it is
advantageous that these microsystems could be integrated in a Micro Total
Analysing System (-TAS) as an analysing tool.
In this paper, NMR theory, description, fabrication process and electrical
characterization of planar microcoils receiver are described. Results
obtained on NMR microspectroscopy experiments have been performed on water
and ethanol, using a 1Â mm diameter planar coil. This microcoil is tuned and
matched at 85.13Â MHz which is the Larmor frequency of proton in a 2Â T
magnetic field

NMR antenna for an interstitial ultrasound applicator
The aim of this work is to study and design a NMR micro antenna
dedicated to ultrasound lesion monitoring by imaging. This micro-antenna will be
associated with an oesophageal ultrasound applicator used for oesophagus tumour
therapy to provide guidance and monitoring by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). So, the micro-antenna design was guided by size and shape constraints due to
endocavitary applications and adaptation to the ultrasound applicator. In this scope, a coil of N rectangular loops was built. In order to minimise size and
offer the ability to perform in vivo adjustments, remote tuning and matching was
performed. MRI investigations were carried out using two antennas: a volumic
transmitter coil for excitation and this endoscopic receiver coil for signal capture. Lesion can be clearly seen on T2-weighted MR imaging. Lesion measurements on
sagittal and axial slices gave a good correlation with lesion dimensions measured on
