We are pleased to announce that the MedWaveImage project was successfully presented at the 20th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2026).
The advancements and collaborative efforts driven by our project network were highlighted through multiple scientific contributions presented during the event:
- Research Paper: “On the Decoupling of an on-Body-Matched Microwave Antenna for Head Screening”
- Authors: Martina Gugliermino, David O. Rodriguez-Duarte, Alex Ramiro Masaquiza-Caiza, Cristina Origlia, Jorge A. Tobon Vasquez, Francesca Vipiana (Politecnico di Torino, Italy); Alessia Delpiano, Maaz Khalid (EPF Elettronica, Italy); Rosa Scapaticci (CNR – National Research Council of Italy, Italy).
- This study highlights key advancements in microwave imaging technologies, specifically focusing on antenna design and decoupling techniques for head screening applications.
- Research Paper: “Hybrid Use of a Hyperthermic Applicator to Enhance Microwave Imaging Performance”
- Authors: Jakub Kollar, Barbora Smahelova, Jan Vrba, Ondrej Fiser (Department of Biomedical Technology, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, CTU in Prague, Czech Republic).
- This study investigates the impact of antenna proximity on MWI performance and explores the feasibility of using a clinical HT applicator as an additional imaging element to enhance temperature monitoring.
- Conference Poster: “Hybrid Use of a Hyperthermic Applicator to Enhance Microwave Imaging Performance”
- Authors: Jakub Kollar, Barbora Smahelova, Jan Vrba, Ondrej Fiser (Department of Biomedical Technology, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic).
- This poster visually outlines the numerical models, experimental setup, and quantitative improvements (CBQ and PIR metrics) achieved by incorporating the Alba Beta applicator as an additional imaging antenna.
Participating in leading international forums like EuCAP 2026 allows the MedWaveImage team to share scientific insights, foster cooperation, and drive innovation in the field of medical microwave imaging.
