Benefits of technology

[0025]While we have discussed the notion of active imaging by placing nano-particles in diseased or cancerous tissue, there is nothing to prevent the converse, that is, to place nano-particles into healthy cells and image only those cells. Then the absence of imaged space would identify a region of material that is not biologically healthy and, therefore, assumed to be cancerous. Alternatively, two nano-particle IVs or injections (or both) could be given, one nano-particle designed to be taken up by diseased or cancerous cells, the other for healthy cells. This creates an extreme level of contrast between the two types of nano-particles. Another approach is to use as many unique nano-particle types as is needed to identify the many cancerous or un-healthy cellular types present in the living organism. Then, the imaging process would identify those cancers, as they relate to each other, in full spatial extent. To further enhance this imaging separation, different energy fields (E, H, EM, acoustic, optical) could be used for each nano-particle type to ensure full isolation between the “input energy function” and the “output energy function”. The excitation of the different nano-particle types could also be managed in the time domain, where the nano-particles are successively illuminated by their respective paired energy fields. Thus, there are many degrees of freedom present in the Energy Field and Target Correlation System, where the degrees of imaging freedom enable an optimal imaging environment.

Problems solved by technology

Nerves could be mapped using these approaches where today nerves are difficult if not impossible to see using contemporary imaging methods.
In this example, the movement of the cancer cells within the bloodstream creates an added complexity to the treatment process.

Embodiment Construction

[0040]The use of target particles is necessary to improve differentiation between normal cells in the living organism and the invasive agents found in the living organism, which differentiation is accomplished by the contrast produced by the detectable effects of activated target particles. The Energy Field and Target Correlation System is directed to the application of an energy field (electric, magnetic, both) to a living organism (typically human or animal) to activate target particles which have been deployed in the living organism, which target particles bind to the invasive agents or are taken up by the invasive agents. The activation fields can take on the following forms: an E-field, an H-field, an EM-field, optical fields such as lasers, acoustic fields, and so on. The target particles can exhibit a response that is thermal, mechanical, electric, or chemical in nature, as a function of the characteristics of the target particles. This response of the target particles to the...

Abstract

The Energy Field and Target Correlation System automatically correlates the characteristics of target particles and a living organism to compute the characteristics of an energy field that is applied to a living organism to activate the target particles which are bound to or consumed or taken up by invasive agents in the living organism to produce detectable effects which can be used to treat the invasive agents. The energy field must be crafted to properly control the response and localize the extent of the illumination. The System automatically selects a set of energy field characteristics, including: field type, frequency, field strength, duration, field modulation, repetition frequency, beam size, and focal point. The determined energy field characteristics then are used to activate field generators to generate the desired energy field.
