Abstract

Multi-angle radiographic imaging enables 3D visualization of internal surgical targets like solid-tumors, heart vessels, blocked glands or any bodily cavities like fallopian or Eustachian tubes for diagnostics and surgery planning. Those images are dimensionally precise and easily replicated as life-forms with 3D printing for exact modeling. The 'negative' aspects of the images are the diseased tissues requiring excision, as in a solid-tumor example. Needle biopsies are routine and can be radiographically guided. Similarly, guided needle delivery of a magnetic surgical fluid containing fullerenes into a target site, such as a solid tumor is less invasive than laparoscopic techniques. Introducing an external magnetic field force can then be used to propel, rotate and maneuver fullerenes into cellular matter or into tissue. Without such external force from the external magnetic field, the suspension of nanoparticles remains harmless due to their atomic scale, inertia and intrinsic repulsion from contact with nearby matter. Notably, fullerenes are hydrophobic and can move freely in biologic space (or interstitially) including amongst water molecules without contact. However, if energized and propelled by a controlled external magnetic source, the nanoparticle could readily penetrate cells, tissues, bone, or biological material. In addition to magnetic launching of the nanoparticles, rotation of the fullerene particles would create millions of nanoscale abrasive structures that can grind down larger structures like tissues, organs, or bones. By example, oscillating or reciprocal computer-controlled magnetic forces in radiographically defined space would activate fullerenes, inducing momentum and rotation that can exenterate a tumor, while chemically cauterizing small feeding vessels for hemostatic control and absent any damage to nearby normal, non-target matter. Essentially, biological material targeted with magnetically manipulated fullerenes could be ablated with a microscopic 'sharpness' unattainable with conventional instrumentation. Magnetic forces are mathematically articulated and understood in highly precise terms, wherein objects subject to magnetic energy are controllable regarding mass, force and velocity. After completion of the surgical procedure, the magnetic fullerene fluid can be aggregated and removed along with flushing of attendant debris with a syringe or similar instrument.
