Roth publishes review in Experimental Biology and Medicine

CBR member and Professor Brad Roth, of the Department of Physics, published a review about The Role of Magnetic Forces in Biology and Medicine in the February issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine (Volume 236, Pages 132-137). The abstract of the review states:
The Lorentz force (the force acting on currents in a magnetic field) plays an increasingly larger role in techniques to image current and conductivity. This review will summarize several applications involving the Lorentz force, including (1) magneto-acoustic imaging of current; (2) 'Hall effect' imaging; (3) ultrasonically-induced Lorentz force imaging of conductivity; (4) magneto-acoustic tomography with magnetic induction; and (5) Lorentz force imaging of action currents using magnetic resonance imaging.
Roth’s research is supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health.
Prof Brad Roth published a review about Lorentz forces in biology in the journal Experimental Biology and Medicine
