This paper describes the design and the characterization of an 8 slots resonant cavities Magnetron, which undergoes the thermal-structural effects due to the cathode heating. The proposed study involves Thermal Stress (TS), Eigen-frequency (EF) and Particle Tracing (PT) analysis based on a COMSOL Multiphysics (MP) simulation. Magnetrons are well known and more utilized High Power (HP) Radiofreq...

BACKGROUND Redundant facial and neck skin is a major feature of aging and historically has been corrected surgically. Recently, monopolar radiofrequency application has been introduced for nonablative tissue tightening of skin by volumetric heating of the deep dermis. It has been able to improve neck and cheek laxity and periorbital rhytides and to elevate eyebrows. However, questions remain as...

BACKGROUND Animal studies have suggested that the temperature of the electrode-tissue interface during radiofrequency catheter ablation accurately predicts lesion size. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the utility of continuous temperature monitoring during radiofrequency catheter ablation in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty patients wit...

Current safety regulations for local radiofrequency (rf) heating, developed for externally positioned rf coils, may not be suitable for internal rf coils that are being increasingly used in interventional MRI. This work presents a two-step model for rf heating in an interventional MRI setting: (1) the spatial distribution of power in the sample from the rf pulse (Maxwell's equations); and (2) t...

Myocardial heating by transcatheter delivery of radiofrequency (RF) energy has been proposed as an effective means of arrhythmia ablation. A thermodynamic model describing the radial temperature gradient at steady state during RF-induced heating is proposed. If one assumes that RF power output is adjusted to maintain a constant electrode-tissue interface temperature at all times, then this ther...

Radiofrequency ablation is one of the common methods used to treat pain, movement or mood disorders. It bases on the electromagnetic energy provided to the selected tissue when an alternating current is applied. The resistive heating produced in this process provokes temperature rise in target tissue and generates lesion for intended therapeutic effects. However, in case when no tissue damage i...

The sensitivity gain of ultrahigh field Magnetic Resonance (UHF-MR) holds the promise to enhance spatial and temporal resolution. Such improvements could be beneficial for cardiovascular MR. However, intracoronary stents used for treatment of coronary artery disease are currently considered to be contra-indications for UHF-MR. The antenna effect induced by a stent together with RF wavelength sh...

Electromagnetic fields are created by radiofrequency waves. However, the RF emitted a mobile phone's antenna is insufficient to cause significant heating of tissues in ear or head. The focus this research look further into SAR measurement how much radiation absorbed human body. A CST Microwave studio, high-performance 3D EM analysis software, used for project design, analyse, and measure electr...
