Microwave imaging for human brain stroke detection using frequency domain inverse modelling & phantom experiments.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This paper reports a study exploring microwave Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) imaging of biological specimens, with the longer-term goal of assessing its applicability for non-invasive and non-destructive imaging of the human brain in the context of stroke detection and monitoring. The paper describes the design and fabrication of a laboratory testbed developed to examine the feasibility of the ISAR approach. The system includes a custom antenna designed to reduce self-generated clutter and support the imaging process. Water was used as a matching medium due to its specific permittivity-frequency relationship, providing controlled conditions for experimental evaluation. The forward and inverse models were initially tested in simulated environments, and subsequently evaluated using physical measurements on real biological specimens in a bistatic radar configuration, to assess their ability to localize internal anomalies with sub-centimetre resolution across a 26 cm circular imaging area. The reconstructed images from vegetable phantoms such as potatoes and turnips suggest the technique may be capable of detecting internal structural variations. These preliminary findings serve as a foundation for future investigations into human brain imaging applications.
