Modeling Patient-Specific Magnetic Drug Targeting Within the Intracranial Vasculature

Modeling Patient-Specific Magnetic Drug Targeting Within the Intracranial Vasculature

Drug targeting promises to substantially enhance future therapies, for example through the focussing of chemotherapeutic drugs at the site of a tumor, thus reducing the exposure of healthy tissue to unwanted damage. Promising work on the steering of medication in the human body employs magnetic fiel...
