Scattering cross-section (SCS) values for different RBC shapes and different orientations are obtained accurately and efficiently using a sophisticated simulation environment based on the electric and magnetic current combinedfield integral equation and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm. Using SCS values, we determine strict guidelines to distinguish deformed RBCs from healthy RBCs and to diagnose related diseases.EnglishCombined field integral equationsDeformed shapeMagnetic currentsMulti-level fast multi-pole algorithmRed blood cellRigorous solutionScattering cross sectionScattering problemsSimulation environmentBloodCellsHemoglobin oxygen saturationScatteringAntennasConference Paper
