BIOENG 1005 - RADIOFREQUENCY MEDICAL DEVICES

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The course will cover topics related to the applications of electromagnetics and RF in medicine and in other devices that can cause thermal safety hazards. Topics such as Maxwell Equations, Wave Equations, Transmission Lines, Electromagnetic Theorems, Introduction to Antennas, and Introduction to Computational Electromagnetics will be presented. The class will include analyses of several RF devices used in medical applications and/or have electromagnetic safety implications such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), biological sensors (brain machine interface), RF ablation, and cell phones. Upon completing the course, the student should be able to describe how to apply fundamental electromagnetic principles to set up and solve problems in RF devices used in medical applications.
