ABSTRACT

In this paper, a previously proposed analytical procedure for the computation of the specific absorption rate (SAR) inside a biological elliptic cylinder model is extended to the case in which the body is illuminated under near-field conditions. The elliptic model is made up of layers of different biological tissues and the source is constituted by a line-current distribution. The recursive procedure in which the field is expressed in terms of Mathieu function is modified to express the incident electromagnetic wave produced by the line current. The new procedure makes it possible to check and validate numerical solutions obtained by accurate numerical techniques for SAR prediction, under more realistic illumination condition.

ABSTRACT

In this paper, a biological model made up of a multilayer elliptic cylinder is considered. This canonical scattering problem is solved by a recursive procedure, which has been generalized to the case of lossy materials by using the analytical properties of Mathieu functions. Although it is a simplified model, this stratified configuration may simulate better than circular cylinders the local behavior of biological subsystems. In addition, it represents an effective tool for producing analytical data for testing direct-scattering numerical codes in biomedical applications and for the evaluation of reconstruction procedures in medical imaging.

ABSTRACT

The specific absorption rate (SAR) is usually considered as the basic quantity to derive the reference levels for the exposure of workers and general population. In this paper, we propose an analytical procedure for the SAR computation inside a biological elliptic cylinder model made up of layers of different biological tissues. The procedure makes it possible to obtain accurate SAR values in simplified models of biological subsystems, and it is also helpful to test numerical techniques to be used for more realistic models and to generate synthetic input data for diagnostic methodologies. For the assumed model, the calculation of the analytical solution has been obtained by generalizing a known procedure that deals only with lossless materials, and the model makes possible the calculation of the SAR for realistic human tissues. Various calculations prove the reliability of the technique.

ABSTRACT

El siguiente trabajo tuvo por objetivo valorar las modificaciones producidas por la anestesia peridural, mediante el efecto Doppler, sobre la circulación de ambas arterias uterinas y arteria umbilical. Fue realizado en la Maternidad del Hospital D. F. Santojanni en el período comprendido entre octubre de 1993 y agosto de 1994. Se seleccionaron 33 pacientes con embarazos de término y 2 cesáreas anteriores, sin complicaciones médicas y/o quirúrgicas durante la gestación. Se efectuó la Velocimetría Doppler de arteria uterina derecha e izquierda y arteria umbilical con Doppler pulsado previa a la anestesia, 5 y 15 minutos después. Se calculó el cociente S/D. Los resultados mostraron a pesar de no encontrarse modificaciones significativas de la tensión arterial materna, un aumento del índice S/D a los 5 minutos en las arterias estudiadas sugiriendo una disminución del flujo útero-placentario y del flujo umbilical. Estos valores vuelven a estados preanestésicos excepto en arteria uterina izquierda. Pensamos que los 5 primeros minutos son críticos para los mecanismos de regulación hemodinámica maternos, motivo por el cual consideramos que aumentan los valores del índice S/D
