Abstract
Multiphysics modeling combines electromagnetic theory and tissue biomechanics for applications in medical diagnostics and therapeutic device design. Future medical devices will incorporate embedded sensors and actuators that measurably interact with the patient, thereby requiring anticipation of coupled interactions between electromagnetic fields and biological structures. Understandings of sensing and therapeutic implementations support new medical device designs, allowing guidance, control, and landmarking to facilitate next-generation therapies. Diagnostic applications include virtually all clinically established imaging techniques, and validation methods for targeted therapies rapidly improve patient outcomes. The development of therapeutic techniques explores low-level direct applicator-to-tissue couplings that hold promise for tissue regeneration and enhancement.
