A UWB sensor based on resistively‐loaded dipole antenna for skull healing on cranial surgery phantom models

Abstract: After craniotomy, the monitoring of the skull healing progression is strongly needed to take a proper medical intervention. The CT scans is however currently used for follow‐up after craniotomy resulting in lack of an effective and safety problem. This research proposes an alternative for monitoring the skull healing using ultra‐wide band (UWB) antenna. For the healing of the skull surgical defect, a compact resistively‐loaded dipole antenna is designed and analyzed in terms of its performance in the time doma… Show more

“…In this regard, the impulse radar characterized by UWB pulse has widely utilized for near zone sensing applications. The applications in the vicinity of the targets can be included for not only medical applications, such as imaging of the breast tumor, imaging of the bleeding area for stroke, and assessment of bone mineral density, but also industrial applications such as ground‐penetrating radar (GPR), through‐wall penetrating radar, and foliage‐penetrating radar (FPR) …”

“…We have considered agar based phantoms because agar has the ability to preserve the water contained mixture as well described in [3,4,9]. The pure deionized water was utilized to make sure that the mixture is not affected by any chemical ions.…”

“…Here, we added the TX-151 (Balmar, LLC, Louisiana, USA) to improve the viscosity of mixtures because the agar and PEP cannot mix properly with each other. To make each tissue a homogeneous media, we considered the volumetric fraction of all tissues to reflect the multi tissue layers as one layer [3]. Each material of tissue mimicking phantoms was followed as shown in Table 1 to adjust the electrical properties of phantoms as similar to the reference, which is available in [10].…”
