Electromagnetic Scanning System for Pneumothorax Classification

In this paper, we investigate the use of an electromagnetic scanning system for pneumothorax detection and classification. An 1 x 8 antenna array is distributed around the thorax, operating within the 0.49 - 1.63 GHz frequency range. Four different cases of thorax models are generated. Machine learning techniques are considered for the final classification of healthy and unhealthy cases. Simulations reveal promising results, achieving an accuracy of 75%.
