Theoretical analysis of a transdermal ferromagnetic implant for retention of magnetic drug carrier particles

The use of a ferromagnetic wire implant placed near an artery to assist the collection of magnetic drug carrier particles (MDCPs) using an external magnet is theoretically studied. Three magnetic drug targeting (MDT) systems are evaluated in terms of their MDCP collection efficiency (CE): a permanent magnet and wire is better than a permanent magnet alone, which is better than a homogeneous magnetic field and wire.
