Learning outcomes
This course is intended for the MS student in Bio-engineering. It provides the basic competences to understand the use of microwaves (and radio frequencies) in the field of bio-engineering, either for diagnostics or therapies. The student will understand how to manage and deal with this emerging technology.
Course contents
- Fundamental aspects of the electromagnetism
- Fundamental aspects of microwave devices and antennas
- Dielectric characterization of biological materials
- Dosimetry, specific asbortion rate (SAR)
- Regulations about electromagnetic fields
- Interaction between electromagnetic fields and biological systems
- Ex-vivo and in-vivo measurements
- Numerical techniques for the analysis of the interaction between biological systems and microwaves
- Imaging and diagnostic techniques at microwaves
- Biomedical devices at microwaves
- Implantable and wearable microwave devices
