题 目: Microwave Antennas for Medical Applications 报 告 人：Koichi Ito 时 间：2016年6月21日（周二）上午9:30~10:00 地 点：东南大学四牌楼校区李文正楼6楼大会议室 主 办： 东南大学毫米波国家重点实验室 IEEE AP-MTT-EMC Joint Nanjing Chapter 江苏省电子学会天线与微波专委会 内容简介： Recently, various types of medical applications of antennas have widely been investigated and reported. Typical recent medical applications include: (1) Information / Wireless power transmission: - Wearable or implantable vital data sensor / monitor - Wireless telemedicine / Mobile health system using IoT (Internet of Things) - Wireless capsule endoscopy (2) Diagnosis: - High intensity MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) - Microwave CT (Computed Tomography) for cancer detection - Wireless sleep monitor / ECG (electrocardiogram) monitor (3) Treatment: - Thermal therapy (hyperthermia, ablation, etc) - Wireless brain stimulator - Wireless DDD (drug delivery device) - Surgical device (coagulation device, microwave knife, etc)
In this presentation, some practical medical applications of microwave antennas which have been studied in our laboratory are introduced. Firstly, a wearable dual-mode antenna for vital data monitoring systems is presented. A key technology for the antenna is body-centric wireless communications. Secondly, an X-band antenna for a microwave sleep monitor is demonstrated with human-body phantom experiments. A “dynamic” phantom played an important role for the study. Thirdly, after a brief description of thermal therapy and microwave heating, a coaxial-slot antenna and an array applicator composed of several coaxial-slot antennas for minimally invasive microwave thermal therapy are overviewed. A few results of actual clinical trials by use of coaxial-slot antennas are demonstrated from a technical point of view. Finally, a few different types of surgical devices using high power microwave energy are introduced. Heating characteristics of such microwave surgical devices are evaluated by numerical calculation as well as experiments using phantoms, meat and animals.
