DESCRIPTION:Knee injuries\, especially ligament tears\, which often need a 
 long recovery time and significant healthcare costs\, are highly prevalent
  among athletes\, the public\, and even animals. Early detection and effec
 tive monitoring of ligament tears are crucial to avoid further damage and 
 prevent career-ending complications. While currently used imaging modaliti
 es\, such as MRI\, ultrasound and CT\, offer valuable diagnostic capabilit
 ies\, they are often costly\, static\, and inaccessible\, making them impr
 actical for frequent monitoring. Moreover\, current modalities are not sui
 table for onsite imaging and diagnosis.\n\nThis talk will explore the pote
 ntial of electromagnetic imaging (EMI) as a portable\, non-invasive altern
 ative for diagnosing and monitoring knee injuries. By leveraging dielectri
 c property variations in tissues\, EMI can differentiate between healthy a
 nd injured areas. This talk will cover the development of EMI systems\, in
 cluding characterization and modelling\, antenna design\, imaging algorith
 ms\, realistic knee phantoms\, and clinical validation efforts.\n\nBy addr
 essing the limitations of current imaging modalities\, EMI has the potenti
 al to provide real-time\, cost-effective\, and widely accessible diagnosti
 c solutions. The talk will also highlight ongoing research efforts and fut
 ure directions to advance the clinical adoption of EMI for knee injury ass
 essment and monitoring.\n\nSpeaker(s):  Kamel  \, \n\nVirtual: https://eve
