Waveguide Applicator System for Head and Neck Hyperthermia Treatment
The main purpose of this article is a complex hyperthermia applicator system design for treatment of head and neck region. The applicator system is composed of four waveguides with a stripline horn aperture and circular water bolus. The specific absorption rate (SAR) and temperature distribution from this applicator in various numerical phantom models was investigated. For used targets, the tre...
متن کاملA head and neck hyperthermia applicator: theoretical antenna array design.
PURPOSE Investigation into the feasibility of a circular array of dipole antennas to deposit RF-energy centrally in the neck as a function of: (1) patient positioning, (2) antenna ring radius, (3) number of antenna rings, (4) number of antennas per ring and (5) distance between antenna rings. MATERIALS AND METHODS Power absorption (PA) distributions in realistic, head and neck, anatomy models...
متن کاملMultiple applicator approaches for radiofrequency and microwave ablation.
Treatment of tumours greater than 2 cm by radiofrequency (RF) or microwave ablation typically use multiple sequential applications, since most currently available ablation devices are limited to use of a single applicator at a time. A major focus of current ablation research is on methodologies that allow increasing the coagulation zone to more rapidly treat large tumours. The ability to use mu...
متن کاملInvestigation of a Dual-Function Applicator for RF Hyperthermia and MRI
Introduction: Clinical evidence indicates that adjuvant mild hyperthermia (41°C-43°C for 30-60 mins) of tumors significantly increases the effectiveness of radioor chemo-therapy [1-3]. It is not designed to kill cancer cells directly but instead promotes drug and oxygen (radiosensitizer) diffusion through the dilated tumor vasculature. Deep-region heating can be induced by RF electric fields ge...
متن کاملHeating Performances of Array Applicator for Interstitial Microwave Hyperthermia: Numerical Simulation and Clinical Trial
INTRODUCTION In recent years, various types of medical applications of microwaves have widely been investigated and reported [1]. In particular, minimally invasive microwave thermal therapies using thin applicators are of a great interest. They are interstitial microwave hyperthermia [2] and microwave coagulation therapy (MCT) [3] for medical treatment of cancer, cardiac catheter ablation for v...
