Remcom Announces Enhanced Biological Thermal Sensor and Other Biomedical Features in XFdtd EM Simulation Software Update
State College, PA (PRWEB) August 27, 2014 -- Remcom announces an update to http://www..remcom.com/xf7-prweb-xf7-4 [XFdtd® 3D Electromagnetic Simulation Software __title__ XFdtd 3D EM Simulation Software] with new features for the biomedical industry. The central biomedical addition in the release is an enhanced Biological Thermal Sensor, exclusive to the Bio-Pro version of the software. XFdtd Bio-Pro is a specialty version of XFdtd, developed to calculate the biological effects of electromagnetic fields. In addition, MATLAB® export functionality has been added to all versions to expand engineers’ post-processing options.
The Biological Thermal Sensor allows metals and other non-biological objects to be included in temperature rise computations. The calculations consider the effects of conductive heat transfer between thermally connected materials, blood perfusion, metabolic processes, and general RF heating.
The new sensor provides crucial data to engineers studying temperature effects of RF exposure. Analyses include therapeutic heating devices; MRI heating in patients, including effects of implants, probes, and electrodes; microwave thermal ablation; and implantable devices.
Rodney Korte, product manager for XFdtd, said, “Remcom’s customers in the magnetic resonance community have relied on XFdtd for SAR modeling and MRI safety analysis for many years; however, there was a need for an improved thermal solver that could account for non-biological objects such as metal probes. Remcom has carefully researched our customers’ processes and most pressing problems in order to offer a complete solution. The new release reflects our ongoing commitment to this market’s needs and our product development philosophy of continually adding features that customers directly request.”
In addition to the thermal sensor, the new release includes MATLAB export functionality. All data available through XFdtd’s Result Browser can be exported to MATLAB and CSV formats. This enables full post-processing of data with MATLAB’s extensive mathematical and visualization capabilities. Exportable result types include rotating B+/- and SAR results, grid vertex locations and mesh material properties needed for custom SAR post-processing, and more.
There are many additional usability enhancements in the release including PrOGrid Project Optimized Gridding™, a new capability that simplifies the process of optimizing both accuracy and runtime when creating grids.
