In Vitro Thermal Assessment of Vascularized Tissue Phantom in Presence of Gold Nanorods During Photo-Thermal Therapy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nowadays, laser and nanotechnology have drawn more attention in the field of noninvasive cancer treatment with precise ablation of tumor preserving the surrounding healthy tissue. Besides, the assessment of viscoelastic ...
Thermal Response of Dielectric Nanoparticle-Infused Tissue Phantoms During Microwave-Assisted Hyperthermia
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hyperthermia has been in use for many years, as a potential alternative modality for cancer treatment. In this paper, an experimental investigation of microwave-assisted thermal heating (MWATH) of tissue phantom using a ...
Pulsed Ultrasound Assisted Thermo-Therapy for Subsurface Tumor Ablation: A Numerical Investigation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a promising therapy for thermal ablation and hyperthermia, characterized by its non-invasiveness and high penetration depth. Effective HIFU thermo-therapy requires the ability ...
Evaluation of Hemodynamics in a Prestressed and Compliant Tapered Femoral Artery Using an Optimization-Based Inverse Algorithm
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The important factors that affect the arterial wall compliance are the tissue properties of the arterial wall, the in vivo pulsatile pressure, and the prestressed condition of the artery. It is necessary to obtain the ...
Comparison Between Experimental and Heart Rate-Derived Core Body Temperatures Using a Three-Dimensional Whole Body Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Determination of core body temperature (Tc), a measure of metabolic rate, in firefighters is needed to avoid heat-stress related injury in real time. The measurement of Tc is neither routine nor trivial. This research is ...
