Antenna design for microwave hepatic ablation using an axisymmetric electromagnetic model
BACKGROUND An axisymmetric finite element method (FEM) model was employed to demonstrate important techniques used in the design of antennas for hepatic microwave ablation (MWA). To effectively treat deep-seated hepatic tumors, these antennas should produce a highly localized specific absorption rate (SAR) pattern and be efficient radiators at approved generator frequencies. METHODS AND RESUL...
متن کاملDesign optimization of a robust sleeve antenna for hepatic microwave ablation.
We describe the application of a Bayesian variable-number sample-path (VNSP) optimization algorithm to yield a robust design for a floating sleeve antenna for hepatic microwave ablation. Finite element models are used to generate the electromagnetic (EM) field and thermal distribution in liver given a particular design. Dielectric properties of the tissue are assumed to vary within +/- 10% of a...
متن کاملTheoretical Modeling for Hepatic Microwave Ablation
Thermal tissue ablation is an interventional procedure increasingly being used for treatment of diverse medical conditions. Microwave ablation is emerging as an attractive modality for thermal therapy of large soft tissue targets in short periods of time, making it particularly suitable for ablation of hepatic and other tumors. Theoretical models of the ablation process are a powerful tool for ...
متن کاملPredictors of thrombosis in hepatic vasculature during microwave tumor ablation of an in vivo porcine model.
PURPOSE To evaluate and model the risk of in vivo thrombosis in each hepatic vessel type during hepatic microwave ablation as a function of vessel diameter, velocity, and vessel-antenna spacing. MATERIALS AND METHODS A single microwave ablation antenna was inserted into a single porcine lobe (n = 15 total) adjacent to a hepatic artery, hepatic vein, or portal vein branch. Conventional ultraso...
متن کاملDesign Analysis of An Electromagnetic Band Gap Microstrip Antenna
Problem statemet: Wideband compact antenna is highly demandable due to the dynamic development in the wireless technology. Approach: A simple, compact EBG microstrip antenna is proposed in this study that covers a wideband of 250 GHz and the design is conformal with the 2.45 GHz ISM band (WLAN, IEEE 802.11b and g)/Bluetooth/RFID applications. Results: A 6×6 array of square unit cell formed the ...
