Investigation 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 کاملWaveguide 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 کاملDosimetric Evaluation of a Flexible Dual Balloon-Constructed Applicator in Treating Anorectal Cancer
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To assess the dosimetric flexibility of a dual balloon brachytherapy applicator developed for the treatment of anorectal lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Different amounts of water were infused into the inner and outer balloon separately to study the asymmetrical distribution of the catheter, the radial distance of the active source channel to the inner surface of the glo...
