Abstract

This paper presents the design and construction of a pair of figure-of-eight coils, coupled by magnetic resonance coupling (MRC), which could generate (150 V/m per Ampere) electric field at the focal points for electromagnetic therapy related applications. The E field generated at the targeted site would be significantly enhanced under the same amount of current flowing through the MRC figure-of-eight coils compared to normal coils, due to the superposition of E field contributed by the coils. Furthermore, the MRC figure-of-eight coil is designed and the results are verified in theory, simulation, and experiments. In the ex vivo tissue measurement, 35% current and 82% ohmic power improvements were observed. Since it can enhance the current and ohmic power, the MRC figure-of-eight coils are promising solutions for electromagnetic therapy applications. The potential applications of the coils include noninvasive radio frequency (RF) stimulation, thermoacoustic imaging, electromagnetic field therapies, and RF ablation, etc.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
