Liver Radiofrequency Ablation using Wirelessly Powered Catheter and Generator
Julian Moore
The University of Georgia
Julian Moore is pursuing a master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from The University of Georgia, where he also earned his bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Julian has been a student researcher in the UGA Medical Robotics Laboratory for 3 years where he has worked on a wide array of project relating to the medical field. He is currently investigating electromagnetic induction methodologies for use in minimally invasive ablation treatments such as tumor ablation and pain management while concurrently developing the portable ablation generator and wireless catheter. Mr. Moore has so far published 2 journal articles, both relating to Facility Inspections with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and has 3 additional articles currently under review in the field of wireless medical devices. Mr. Moore also holds a provisional US patent for his ablation generator and wireless catheter.
Abstract
Liver radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive medical procedure where tumors are ablated in the body with electrical current. Current methods of RFA use several cords and wires that complicate the procedure and... [ view full abstract ]
