Prof. Amin M. Abbosh
Title
Microwave techniques as diagnostic tool for congestive heart failure
Abstract
In recent years, microwave techniques have attracted a considerable interest as new diagnostic tools for many
medical applications, such as the detection of breast cancer, brain stroke, congestive heart failure...etc. The
basis for using microwaves as a medical diagnostic tool is the contrast between the electrical properties of
normal and abnormal human tissues in the microwave frequency region. The motivation for building a new
generation of microwave-based diagnostic systems is the need for portable, low-cost, non-ionized, and real-
time diagnosis and monitoring tool to complement the traditional bulky and expensive tools that can only be
used for screening in hospitals or major clinics. In this talk, Prof. Abbosh will explain the microwave imaging
systems that have been built at the University of Queensland, the Microwave Imaging research group of the
School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering. The focus of the talk will be on torso imaging
for heart failure detection. The talk will give details of the utilized antenna elements and arrays, artificial
phantoms, data acquisition, and image formation algorithms. The recent results achieved in the
aforementioned research areas and future challenges will be explained.

Prof. Amin M. Abbosh (BSc, MSc, PhD, DEng) leads the microwave research group at the University of
Queensland, Australia. He authored more than 250 papers on microwave-based imaging systems for medical
applications, wideband passive microwave devices, and planar antennas. As recognition of his international
research standing, he was awarded with the higher doctorate (Doctor of Engineering) by the University of
Queensland in 2013. In addition to his teaching and research duties, Prof. Abbosh is the director of
postgraduate studies at the school of ITEE, The University of Queensland.
