Abstract

In the near future, it is envisioned that intra-body nanosensing systems will provide fast and accurate disease diagnosis and treatment. Recent work on intra-body communications has focused on understanding the propagation of electromagnetic (EM) signals in biological media; however, the photo-thermal effects of the EM waves on biological tissues are not as well understood, despite the risk of damaging the tissues. In this paper, we consider an intra-body nanosensing system where active nanoparticles (NPs) are injected into blood vessels. Using stochastic geometry, we analytically model the photo-thermal effect on red blood cells (RBCs) induced by EM waves of NP transmissions. Numerical results validate the proposed analytical model and provide insights into the safety of such systems.
