Computational Simulation of Magnetic Drug Targeting in Human Body

Development of novel particle carrier methods has led to enhanced advances in targeted drug delivery. This paper has aimed the investigation of targeting drugs via attached magnetic particles into human body. This goal was approached by inducing a magnetic field near a specific part of the human body to target the drug or as it is called magnetic drug targeting (MDT). Blood flow and magnetic particles are simulated under the presence of the specified properties of a magnetic field. In order to demonstrate a more realistic simulation, the flow was considered pulsatile. Finally, the results provided show valuable information on magnetic drug targeting in human body.
