Tomography, Particle Physics and Medical Engineering Based on Waves as an Ultra-Modern Multidisciplinary Medical
Introduction
All three methods are based on waves, amplitude, rhythm and frequency oscillations in the human body or the earth structure. Geophysical Tomography Method (using surface waves to understand and image the Earth) and Astroparticle Physics (using particles physics to understand and image phenomena) are interesting methods for understanding and image inside the earth, human body and etcetera. Tomography is imaging by sections or sectioning, through the use of any kind of penetrating wave. The method is used in radiology, archaeology, biology, atmospheric science, geophysics, oceanography, plasma physics, materials science, astrophysics, quantum information, and other areas of science. A device used in tomography is called a tomograph, while the image produced is a tomogram (Figure 1). Particle physics, is an inter disciplinary and young research field, grown at the intersection of particle physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics and cosmology. It addresses some of the most pressing and fundamental questions in science today: the origin and the evolution of our universe, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, the study of neutrinos and of the ultimate constituents of matter, the search for gravitational waves, the investigation and explanation of the cosmic rays (Figure 2). Biomedical Engineering (BME) or Medical Engineering is the application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology for healthcare purposes (e.g. diagnostic or therapeutic). This field seeks to close the gap between engineering and medicine, combining the design and problem-solving skills of engineering with medical biological sciences to advance health care treatment, including diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy.
Figure 1: Samples of tomography and particle physics (part A and C). Well seen that interpreting and comparing them are possible based on an investigation of velocity structure, group velocity for different periods and high or low velocity anomalies [4,6, 7,18]. Medical engineering (B images) record and interpret changes that occur at the surface temperature of the body and distribution of geothermal power density on the Earth [10, 11, 18]. (the images are slightly changed and designed by Abrehdari).

Application of waves in the medical world
In various fields of medicine, from electromagnetic waves is used. In the following, some of the applications of these waves in summarized has been said.
Diathermia
Diathermy is one of the topics of the medical engineering branch and its topic is the heating of the internal tissues of the human body using electromagnetic radiation. Diathermy is divided into two parts: 1- short wave 2- microwave waves. In short-wave diathermy, electromagnetic waves with frequencies of MHz magnitude (13.56 or 27.12 MHz) are used (see Figure 1).
Hyperthermia
As mentioned, one of the applications of electromagnetic waves is create hyperthermia in the human body tissue. Hyperthermia with using electromagnetic waves and heat creation in damaged tissues, can help to treat cancers, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Also, it can increase the cancer cells’ sensitivity to many treatments or the effect of anticancer drugs. Today, Hyperthermia because of reducing the amount of fear and the attacking pain and death rate and with regard to the development of tools and techniques, it has attracted the attention of many researchers (Figure 3). Types of hyperthermia included:
Figure 3: A picture of the medical engineering proceeds [17], (the images are slightly changed and designed by Abrehdari).
a) Topical hyperthermia involves warming up a very small area (usually Tumor)
b) Regional hyperthermia included heating a wide area (an organ)
c) Total hyperthermia; heat up the human body to a temperature of about 39 to 41 degrees centigrade.
In the use of hyperthermia for the treatment of cancers, though several reports have shown that burns occur at high levels and underlying layers (!!burning skin of the victims of the Bam earthquake in Iran has reported by the local people. Also, Earthquake waves are rich in phases and different frequencies!!).
Other Applications of Heat Therapy by Waves
Heat generated in the tissues, due to absorption of waves radiation, it can have other therapeutic effects that let us briefly mention them:
a. Enhance the body immunity with high-temperature via (e.g. to control AIDS)
b. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
c. Restoration and proliferation of neural cells
d. Restoration of cartilage and swollen tissues and injuries
e. Electromagnetic knives
f. Destroying cancerous tissues relatively deep areas of the body
g. Pain control
h. Telemetry and etc.
For prefect information and knowledge about tomography and particle physics; see [1-16] references. Eventually we realized that these three important methods, namely medical physics, wave tomography and particle physics work according to the intensity of radiation, some subjects such as high frequency currents, fluctuations, oscillating devices, frequency oscillations, oscillation damping, energy transfer between oscillating devices, radio receivers and oscillatory currents have been carefully studied. The images produced by these methods are based on the intensity and light darkness (weakness); in other words, we have guided a spectrum of beams and photons (Figure 4). It really can be attractive and ultra-modern multidisciplinary medicine and in fact, we will take a step toward Molecular Imaging. Molecular imaging originated from the field of radiopharmacology due to the need to better understand fundamental molecular pathways inside organisms in a noninvasive manner (see Figure 4).
