Electronics Engineering

Basic principles Fundamental interactions between electromagnetic fields and biological systems. Multiphysics models of the human body. Methods and tools for the solution of the electromagnetic problem in the human body Electrochemotherapy Mechanism of electroporation induction Standard protocol, device and its fundamental components The role of Electric field and treatment planning Cancer pathologies treated LAB: computational dosimetry for treatment planning LAB: experience with members of a leading Italian company in the field Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Basic principles Protocols, devices and coil Major pathologies treated: depression, stroke, neurodegenerative, Calculation of Electric field distribution Neuronavigation LAB: E field induction by a coil on a simplified head model LAB: dosimetry of a figure-8 on the brain of virtual human body Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Operating Principles Pathologies involved The device and its fundamental components Computational modeling and dose determination Safety issues LAB: computationl dosimetry of an electrode mountage the brain of virtual human body

none is requested

Selected Chapters from: 1. Handbook of Electroporation, Damijan Miklavcic, Springer 2. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Alexander Rotenberg, Jared Cooney Horvath, Alvaro Pascual-Leone, Humana Press 3. Practical Guide to Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation, Principles, Procedures and Applications, Helena Knotkova, Michael A. Nitsche, Marom Bikson, Adam J. Woods, Springer Selection of Papers available on the course moodle site

Not mandatory but recommended especially for exercises

TWO PARTS contributing equally to the final mark: 1) LOGBOOK of the LAB experiences 2) Two oral questions taken from the whole programme Overall, the exam test aims to assess the level that the student has achieved in acquiring the skills described in the training objectives, with particular reference to: a) understanding of the concepts transmitted during the lessons, not only from the theoretical point of view but also in reference to applicative problems; b) ability to learn and organize concepts; d) accuracy and precision in exposure.

Teaching will be carried out by addressing the 4 main topics, as far as possible each topic covered in theory will be followed by a practical or simulative laboratory exercise. Students will be provided with the opportunity to install on their Computers a temporary license of Comsol Multiphysics Classkit, useful for the exercises. Various digital technologies for teaching will be integrated as far as possible
