SUMMARY:Imaging Tissue and Treating Cancer with Microwaves
DESCRIPTION:Thursday January 28\, 2016 at 3:00 p.m. Professor Susan Hagness\, University of Wisconsin-Madison\, will be presenting “Imaging Tissue and Treating Cancer with Microwaves”. \nSpeaker: Professor Susan Hagness\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison \nDay & Time: Thursday\, January 28\, 2016\n3:00 p.m. \nLocation: Sandford Fleming Building\, 10 King’s College Rd\nRoom SF1105 \nOrganizer: IEEE Toronto Electromagnetics and Radiation Chapter \nContact: Costas D. Sarris \nAbstract: The endogenous (and possibly exogenously influenced) dielectric properties of tissue at microwave frequencies vary across different tissue types and physiological states. These properties may be exploited to differentiate tissues via low-power microwave imaging and to selectively heat diseased tissue at higher power levels. This presentation will highlight recent theoretical and experimental advances in low-cost microwave theranostics – that is\, diagnostic and therapeutic microwave-based technologies – with an emphasis on breast imaging and targeted cancer treatment. On the diagnostic side\, 3-D quantitative microwave imaging technology has the potential to address several important clinical needs in breast imaging\, including evaluating breast density as part of a patient’s individualized risk assessment\, screening women who are at higher risk for cancer\, and monitoring changes in breast tissue in response to prevention and treatment protocols. On the therapeutic side\, minimally invasive microwave ablation using miniaturized antennas as interstitial heating probes is emerging as a less invasive alternative to surgical resection and more effective and versatile alternative to conventional thermoablative techniques for the treatment of primary tumors. \nBiography: Susan C. Hagness received the B.S. degree with highest honors and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Northwestern University in 1993 and 1998\, respectively. Since 1998\, she has been with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, where she currently holds the title of Philip D. Reed Professor and serves as the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Affairs in the College of Engineering. She is also a Faculty Affiliate of the Department of Biomedical Engineering and a member of the UW Carbone Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dr. Hagness was the recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) presented by the U.S. White House in 2000. In 2002\, she was named one of the 100 top young innovators in science and engineering in the world by the MIT Technology Review magazine. She is also the recipient of the UW-Madison Emil Steiger Distinguished Teaching Award (2003)\, the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Early Career Achievement Award (2004)\, the URSI Isaac Koga Gold Medal (2005)\, the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering Outstanding Paper Award (2007)\, the IEEE Education Society Mac E. Van Valkenburg Early Career Teaching Award (2007)\, the UW System Alliant Energy Underkofler Excellence in Teaching Award (2009)\, the Physics in Medicine and Biology Citations Prize (2011)\, the UW-Madison Kellett Mid- Career Award (2011)\, and the UW-Madison College of Engineering Benjamin Smith Reynolds Award for Excellence in Teaching Engineers (2014). She was elected Fellow of the IEEE in 2009. She has held numerous leadership positions within the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) and the United States National Committee (USNC) of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI). She was the Technical Program Chair of the 2012 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC/URSI National Radio Science Meeting in Chicago\, IL\, and most recently completed a term as Chair of the IEEE AP-S Fellows Evaluation Committee.
