Abstract
Deep seated tumors are neoplasms grown in challenging sites that call for innovative interventional strategies. Thanks to the development of magnetic nanocomposite biomaterials, multifunctional electromagnetic-responsive thermoseeds, called magnetic scaffolds, can be used as hyperthermia agents to control the local recurrence rate of deep-seated cancers through radiofrequency (RF) heating. To achieve an effective and high-quality treatment, the planning through multiphysics simulations is mandatory. A computational framework for solving the coupled electromagnetic and thermal phenomena ruling the RF heating of magnetic scaffolds will be presented and used to study different biomaterials, physiopathological scenarios and applications.Items in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
