摘要:
Implantable devices and/or sensors can be wirelessly powered by controlling and propagating electromagnetic waves in a patient's tissue. Such implantable devices/sensors can be implanted at target locations in a patient, to stimulate areas such as the heart, brain, spinal cord, or muscle tissue, and/or to sense biological, physiological, chemical attributes of the blood, tissue, and other patient parameters. The propagating electromagnetic waves can be generated with sub-wavelength structures configured to manipulate evanescent fields outside of tissue to generate the propagating waves inside the tissue. Methods of use are also described.
摘要:
Disclosed is an intra-medullary rod, including: a cylindrical body made of an X-ray transmitting material; a plurality of wires, which are made of a material that does not transmit X-ray and are deposited at regular intervals along a surface of the cylindrical body in the circumferential direction, being extended in an axial direction in a spiral shape, wherein each of the wires is made in a way that a starting end and a terminating end of the cylindrical body are connected by the shortest distance along the outer surface thereof. In a fluoroscopic image of the cylindrical body, a distance from a reference position to an intersection location of a pair of the wires corresponds to an amount of rotational angle of the intra-medullary rod. By digitizing the intersection location, the rotational angle of the intra-medullary rod is measured.
