    Ivorra Cano, Antoni, 1974-; Becerra Fajardo, Laura; Castellví Fernández, Quim (Institute of Physics (IOP), 2015)
    It is possible to develop implantable microstimulators whose actuation principle is based on rectification of high frequency (HF) current bursts supplied through skin electrodes. This has been demonstrated previously by ...
  • Injectable sensors based on passive rectification of volume-conducted currents
    Malik, Shahid; Castellví Fernández, Quim; Becerra Fajardo, Laura; Tudela Pi, Marc; García Moreno, Aracelys; Shojaei Baghini, Maryam; Ivorra Cano, Antoni, 1974- (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020)
    Sensing implants that can be deployed by catheterization or by injection are preferable over implants requiring invasive surgery. However, present powering methods for active implants and present interrogation methods for ...
  • Irreversible electroporation of the liver: is there a safe limit to the ablation volume?
    Sánchez-Velázquez, Joan; Castellví Fernández, Quim; Villanueva, Alberto; Quesada Diez, Rita; Pañella Vilamú, Clara, 1987-; Cáceres Aguilar, Mario; Dorcaratto, Dimitri; Andaluz, Anna; Moll, Xavier; Trujillo Guillén, Macarena; Burdío, José M.; Berjano, Enrique J.; Grande Posa, Luís; Ivorra Cano, Antoni, 1974-; Burdío Pinilla, Fernando (Nature Publishing Group, 2016-04-01)
    Irreversible electroporation is a fast-growing liver ablation technique. Although safety has been well documented in small ablations, our aim is to assess its safety and feasibility when a large portion of liver is ablated. ...
