「Biomedical
application of shock waves as a non-invasive
therapeutic modality」
S.H.R.Hosseini(熊本大))
Results of research on biomedical application of
pulsed power shock waves are presented. In order to
exploit systems for shock wave therapy, we have
been working for the development of clinical
devices that are based on the concept of shock
waves or related phenomena. The talk describes new
therapeutic devices designed for the minimally
invasive approach to vascular thromboloysis,
selective dissection of tissues, and drug or DNA
delivery. To investigate the response of cells to
shock loading, a precise method of shock waves
generation has been developed. This method has been
studied for application in cardiovascular therapy,
cancer treatment, and cranioplasty in close
vicinity of the brain. A laser ablation shock wave
assisted particle acceleration device has been
developed for delivering drug and DNA into soft
tissue targets. The penetration depth of
micro-particles observed in the experimental
targets is believed to be sufficient for
pharmacological treatments. In order to achieve an
efficient method for rapid revascularization of
cerebral thrombosis, a laser shock wave induced
liquid jet system has been developed. The
micro-liquid jet system has been further improved
and successfully applied for selective dissection
of soft tissue preserving nerve and blood
vessels.
