  • Abstract
    To validate physiological signatures acquired by ultra-wideband (UWB)-radar, like breathing and cardiac deformation, we propose the comparison with simultaneously acquired in-vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this way it can be evaluated how physiological signals from the thoracic wall and internal structures, e.g., the heart, monitored by UWB-radar correlate with the physiological reality displayed by MR-imaging.
