Innovative Imaging Tools and Devices for Clinical Monitoring within the EMERALD Network

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network “EMERALD” is a recently started project aimed at progressing the state of the art of microwave imaging devices for medical applications. In this framework, the goal of the project tasks based at CNR-IREA is twofold. First, ad-hoc imaging algorithms tailored to the prototype devices for clinical follow-up and image-guided treatment designed and realized within the network will be developed. Second, a microwave imaging device for monitoring and guiding microwave ablation treatments will be designed, realized and tested. This paper presents the initial research activities carried out by the CNRIREA team within the EMERALD project
