Abstract:
Near-field radiofrequency thermoacoustic (NRT) tomography has been recently introduced for imaging electromagnetic (EM) properties of tissues using ultrawideband, high-energy impulses, which induce thermoacoustic responses. Operation in the near-field allows for more effective energy coupling into tissue, compared to using radiating sources, which in turn enables the use of shorter excitation pulses and leads to higher image resolution. This work aimed at investigating transmission lines as a me...     »
