Jan 1, 2018
This feasibility study tested whether microwave radiation (450 MHz, 40 Hz modulation; 1 g peak spatial average SAR 0.3 W/kg) can induce detectable event-related potentials in EEG. In one subject across four sessions, EEG responses time-locked to exposure offset showed increased alpha-band signal and about a twofold…

Jan 1, 2015
This feasibility study evaluated whether delayed-enhancement MRI (DE-MRI) using commercially available tools could visualize radiofrequency ablation lesions in Japanese patients with atrial fibrillation. Of 15 scans, 3 were uninterpretable due to low image quality, and lesions were visualized in 8 of the remaining 12…
Influences of electric field on living cells in a charged water-in-oil droplet under electrophoretic actuation.
