Thermal therapy, Part IV: electromagnetic and thermal dosimetry.
In this article some of the important techniques in electromagnetic (EM) and thermal dosimetry are reviewed. Three major areas are discussed: modeling power deposition and estimation of EM energy absorbed by tissues exposed to EM radiation, electrical-thermal modeling for thermal therapy with various models of heat transfer in living tissues, and thermal dosimetry using invasive and noninvasive...
متن کاملThermal therapy, part 1: an introduction to thermal therapy.
Thermal therapy is widely known and electromagnetic (EM) energy, ultrasonic waves, and other thermal-conduction-based devices have been used as heating sources. In particular, advances in EM technology have paved the way for promising trends in thermotherapeutical applications such as oncology, physiotherapy, urology, cardiology, ophthalmology, and in other areas of medicine as well. This serie...
متن کاملTitle : Electromagnetic - thermal dosimetry of the human brain - Application
1. WM topic and description Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive and painless technique for stimulation or inhibition of certain brain regions. A stimulating coil placed near the surface of a patient's head is energized by a very short current pulse, generating the time varying magnetic field of high intensity penetrating into nearby tissues such as skull and brain. Accordi...
متن کاملThermal Dosimetry and Temperature Measurements1
A crucial ingredient of any hyperthermia procedure is the accurate measurement of achieved temperature. In this paper, we present some accuracy and resolution suggestions and address the problem of temperature measurements when elec tromagnetic energy is used as the mode of heating. In such cases, conventional metallic thermometers can cause severe errors due to reradiated fields, high internal...
متن کاملThermal therapy, Part III: ablation techniques.
Ablative treatments are gaining increasing attention as an alternative to standard surgical therapies, especially for patients with contraindication or those who refuse open surgery. Thermal ablation is used in clinical applications mainly for treating heart arrhythmias, benign prostate hyperplasia, and nonoperable liver tumors; there is also increasing application to other organ sites, includi...
