Comparative Study between the Conventional Methods and A New Technique using Electromagnetic Waves in Diagnosis and Follow up of Treatment of Hepatitis C Virus Infections

" The use of a nucleic acids sequence for a specific iagnostics application was developed in the early 1953 and is still growing widely. The highly specific affinity binding's reaction between virus and electromagnetic waves was used to detect the virus. This method has promoted the development of virus based sensor from the traditional method. In simple words each protein and biomolecule has its fingerprint electromagnetic characteristics that can be used for its identification [13]. Electromagnetic waves of electromagnetic radiation is a combination of electric field and magnetic fields that oscillate and propagate through space and carry energy from one place to another. This technology is very beneficial as they are odorless, noiseless, environmentally friendly, and easy to apply [15]." {Credits 1}

The C-FAST device is a biological sensor or detector in which the resonant electromagnetic energy of HCV RNA is recorded as a consensus frequency that is a molecule signature or HCV nucleic acid electromagnetic fingerprint [17]. This recorded signal is used for the detection of its identical EM match."{Credits 1}

This study revealed that C-FAST is highly sensitive for detection of HCV showing sensitivity 99%, predictive value 100% and specificity of 100%." {Credits 1}
