On the Evaluation of the Hyperthermic Efficiency of Magnetic Scaffolds

On the Evaluation of the Hyperthermic Efficiency of Magnetic Scaffolds 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Goal: Deep-seated tumors (DST) can be treated using thermoseeds exposed to a radiofrequency magnetic field for performing local interstitial hyperthermia treatment (HT). Several research efforts were oriented to the manufacturing… read more

A Safe Framework for Quantitative In Vivo Human Evaluation of Image Guidance

A Safe Framework for Quantitative In Vivo Human Evaluation of Image Guidance 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Goal: We present a new framework for in vivo image guidance evaluation and provide a case study on robotic partial nephrectomy. Methods: This framework (called the “bystander protocol”) involves two… read more

Ultrasound Stimulations Induce Prolonged Depolarization and Fast Action Potentials in Leech Neurons 800 345 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

Ultrasound (US) stimulation carries the promise of a selective, reversible, and non-invasive modulation of neural activity without the need for genetic manipulation of neural structures. However, the mechanisms of US-induced…
