About the project
The project "Wave Processes in Medical Systems" is aimed at the design and development of effective methods for analyzing and controlling electromagnetic and acoustic fields through appropriate material structuring using complex periodic / quasi-periodic structures (e.g., metamaterials, metasurfaces, or meta-lines), as well as single subwavelength resonators. Emphasis is placed on near-field control in the presence of biological tissues and related effects, such as increasing the local density of electromagnetic and acoustic states, resonant energy transfer, generation of large wave vectors, and near-field focusing.Another important goal is the application of the proposed "near-field tuning" methods to approach the theoretical performance limits of medical technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), and wireless power transfer for implantable medical devices (e.g., implantable cardioverter-defibrillators). The project aims to acquire new knowledge in the physics of wave processes and develop breakthrough medical technologies based on a deep understanding of acoustic and electromagnetic phenomena in the near field.
Main expected results of this project are theoretical (analytical and numerical) models and experimental research results of various electromagnetic and acoustic emitters and detectors based on periodic structures and subwavelength resonators of various types, which approximate desired field distributions in biological tissues with maximum precision in both the near and far zones for several medical applications.
