Thermal Ablation Therapy: Theory and Simulation includes detailed
theoretical and technical concepts of thermal ablation therapy in
different body organs. Concepts of ablation technology based on
different thermal ablation methods are introduced, along with
changes in the tissues' mechanical properties due to thermal
denaturation. The book emphasizes the mathematical and engineering
concepts of RF and MW energy propagation through tissues and where
high heating rates produced by MW systems can overcome the
heat-sink effects from nearby vessels. The design and tuning of the
MW antennas to deliver energy efficiently to specific organ systems
such as the liver or lung is also covered. Other sections cover the
computational modeling of radiofrequency ablation and microwave
ablation procedures for developing and implementing new efficient
ablation in clinical systems, numerical simulations for different
scenarios of different organs with different size using RF and MW
ablation systems with different antennas'/probes design and
configurations, and numerical techniques for temperature profile in
tissues.
In this book, application-related studies for acoustic biomedical
sensors are covered in depth. The book features an array of
different biomedical signals, including acoustic biomedical signals
as well as the thermal biomedical signals, magnetic biomedical
signals, and optical biomedical signals to support healthcare. It
employs signal processing approaches, such as filtering, Fourier
transform, spectral estimation, and wavelet transform. The book
presents applications of acoustic biomedical sensors and bio-signal
processing for prediction, detection, and monitoring of some
diseases from the phonocardiogram (PCG) signal analysis. Several
challenges and future perspectives related to the acoustic sensors
applications are highlighted. This book supports the engineers,
researchers, designers, and physicians in several interdisciplinary
domains that support healthcare.
