Optimal Deployment of Multiple Transmitter Drug Delivery System: A Spatial Sampling Theorem Approach

Abstract

This paper considers a multiple transmitter approach to implement targeted drug delivery (TDD). This approach permits a distributed method of confining drug in irregular shapes of diseased tissue, as well as distributing the released rate among transmitters. A multiple transmitters TDD system is formulated as an image processing problem to derive the minimum number of transmitters, which is required to treat an arbitrary tumor of a given size.
