Microwave Sensing Dataset for Noninvasive Monitoring of Brain Atrophy and Ventricle Enlargement
Description
The research hypothesis for this study was to investigate the potential of microwave imaging using unidirectional antennas for monitoring neurodegenerative diseases, specifically Alzheimer's disease. The data was collected using a wearable device and measurement setup that included five lamb brain phantoms that were designed to mimic the brain atrophy associated with Alzheimer's disease, including the presence of cerebral spinal fluid. The data includes both magnitude and phase information at each discrete frequency for each of the five phantoms. The notable finding from this study is that the data obtained from the microwave imaging using unidirectional antennas was able to accurately represent the brain atrophy and presence of cerebral spinal fluid in the lamb brain phantoms, indicating the potential for this approach to be used for monitoring neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. This data can be interpreted and used by researchers and scientists working on developing novel signal processing and imaging techniques, as well as those interested in validating simulation results. It can also be used to further investigate the potential of microwave imaging for monitoring neurodegenerative diseases.
