Noninvasive quantification of drug delivery from an implantable MEMS device

(cont.) sensors in vivo in real time and corroborated by scintillation of urine samples. The goal of monitoring drug delivery from an implant in vivo, in real time and without disturbing the tissue environment, was accomplished. The results described in this thesis suggest a number of future studies including feedback-controlled delivery of drugs and real-time monitoring and analysis of the effect of the immune response to foreign bodies on drug and analyte transport.
