DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Knee injuries\, especially ligament tears\, which oft
 en need a long recovery time and significant healthcare costs\, are highly
  prevalent among athletes\, the public\, and even animals. Early detection
  and effective monitoring of ligament tears are crucial to avoid further d
 amage and prevent career-ending complications. While currently used imagin
 g modalities\, such as MRI\, ultrasound and CT\, offer valuable diagnostic
  capabilities\, they are often costly\, static\, and inaccessible\, making
  them impractical for frequent monitoring. Moreover\, current modalities a
 re not suitable for onsite imaging and diagnosis.\n\nThis talk will explor
 e the potential of electromagnetic imaging (EMI) as a portable\, non-invas
 ive alternative for diagnosing and monitoring knee injuries. By leveraging
  dielectric property variations in tissues\, EMI can differentiate between
  healthy and injured areas. This talk will cover the development of EMI sy
 stems\, including characterization and modelling\, antenna design\, imagin
 g algorithms\, realistic knee phantoms\, and clinical validation efforts.\
 n\nBy addressing the limitations of current imaging modalities\, EMI has t
 he potential to provide real-time\, cost-effective\, and widely accessible
  diagnostic solutions. The talk will also highlight ongoing research effor
 ts and future directions to advance the clinical adoption of EMI for knee 
 injury assessment and monitoring.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Kamel Sultan\, \n\nRo
