Tumor Localization Using Radio Frequency Implants
Abstract
The first step in the project is to develop the theoretical framework necessary for designing an analog prototype of the localizing transmitter. To date, much of the theoretical foundation is developed to characterize the design parameters of the system including the dipole antenna power support. The design parameters for the system are identified as: the dipole and transmitter inductor radii, inductance, capacitance, and magnetic field strength. Using the size constraints imposed by the implant transmitter, the time scales and associated transmitter field strengths are found to be plausible for a clinical environment. This demonstrates that the concept is possible in terms of physical properties of the system. With this analysis, further details of the system can be derived and an analog system can be created for experimental verification. Additional measurements will be used to supplement theory as empirical models to increase the prediction accuracy for creating a detailed transmitter design.
