  1. 1. Simulation of Microwave Heating of Healthy and Cancerous Human Tissue With Gold Nanoparticles

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Hampus Carlens; Mika Söderström; [2022]
    Keywords : Gold nanoparticle GNP ; Electrophoretic resonance; Dispersive permittivity; Cancer treatment; Waveguide; Radiotherapy; Graded material.;

    Abstract : With a great need for new and better cancer treatments, microwaves and gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are increasingly being suggested to be used in radiotherapy. In thisreport, the authors present an investigation of how human tissue,both malignant and healthy, behaves under microwave radiation. READ MORE

  3. 2. Testbed Development for Non-invasive Intracranial Pressure Monitoring with a Microwave based Electromagnetic Skin Patch Sensor

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Author : Sandra Palm; Hassan Saado; [2021]
    Keywords : Intracranial pressure; Artificial cerebrospinal fluid; Biomedical engineering; Microwave sensor;

    Abstract : Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a major public health problem worldwide where the symptoms can be anything from mild concussion to severe swelling of the brain tissue. As a result of TBI the intracranial pressure (ICP) can elevate to pathological levels with severe consequences such as hypoxia, ischemia and brain hemorrhage. READ MORE

  4. 3. Antenna with medical applications for tumour cancer: hyperthermia function

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Elektronik

    Author : Iñaki Abrego peris; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The idea is to improve or help the treatments that exist in the market in the medical field. Treatments such as mammography or radiotherapy make use of X-rays. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation in a high frequency band, this type of electromagnetic is dangerous to health because ionizing radiation is used, ionized atoms interact with matter. READ MORE

  6. 5. Optical and Magneto-Optical Measurements of Plasmonic Magnetic Nanostructures

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialfysik

    Author : Sebastian George; [2014]
    Keywords : surface plasmons; magnetism;

    Abstract : At the interface between a metal and dielectric, it is possible for an electromagnetic wave to couple with the conduction electrons of the metal to create a coupled oscillation known as a surface plasmon. These surface plasmons can exhibit properties which are not shared with their purely electronic or electromagnetic components. READ MORE
