Microwave sensing dataset for noninvasive monitoring of ventricle enlargement due to Alzheimer's disease.

This paper presents a dataset generated from a comprehensive study on the potential of microwave imaging for early detection or monitoring of different stages of Alzheimer's disease. The study includes collecting and analyzing frequency-domain data using a radar-based head imaging system. The data was obtained from lamb brain phantoms designed to mimic lateral ventricle enlargement, a common symptom of Alzheimer's disease. The article provides detailed descriptions of the data collection method, experimental setup, and different phantoms used. Additionally, the article highlights the importance and potential of the dataset to be used for evaluating and validating new signal processing and imaging techniques. The dataset includes magnitude and phase information for both reflected and transmitted signals making it useful to evaluate radar-based signal processing and imaging techniques. The dataset is open-source and available to the scientific community, providing a valuable resource for researchers to advance their understanding of the potential use of microwave imaging techniques for detecting or monitoring Alzheimer's disease.
