Frequency Dependent Spatial Energy Distribution in Biological Tissues
- Technology Benefits
- Maximize electromagnetic field on tissue of interest Minimize the effect on surrounding tissuesExtend the life of implantable electrodes by applying the field beyond encapsulating fibrous tissuesAchieve required uniform field distributions only possible before with multiple electrodes independent electrodes
- Technology Application
- tissue ablation, heart tissue stimulation, neuromodulation
- Detailed Technology Description
- Electromagnetic fields at different frequencies are used in the areas of heart tissue stimulation, electromagnetic ablation, electrosurgery, neuromodulation, electroporation, and iontophoresis. Operating frequency is selected based on experimental and empirical data.USF inventors have developed a method to control the distribution of electromagnetic fields in tissues by rationally selecting operating frequency of electromagnetic stimuli.
- *Abstract
