Anotace:

Medical applications of electromagnetic fields are emerging as new options for diagnosis and therapy of several diseases. Examples are microwave imaging for the diagnosis of cancer disease, thermal therapies for the minimally invasive treatment of tumours or Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radars for the detection and monitoring of the respiratory or cardiac activities. Furthermore, miniaturized sensors and antennas to be implanted inside the human body have been pivotal for ground-breaking medical telemetry and telemedicine. Accurate numerical modelling of the human anatomy including the target tissue are needed and should be developed and validated. Accurate modelling assumes a fundamental role in supporting experimental studies, boosting confidence of the medical community towards emerging technologies and supporting therapeutics with reliable pre-treatment planning. This module focuses on the current state of the art of tissue and body modelling to support emerging biomedical applications where microwave energy is used for diagnosis and/or therapy.

Požadavky:

Requirements for students of the combined form are identical to the full-time form. It is also required to prepare a written study by a student on a given topic from the field.
