Finite Difference Time Domain Modelling of Hyperthermia Applicators for Cancer Therapy

ثبت نشده
چکیده

In this contribution an enhanced version of the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method is used to calculate the field penetration and Specific Absorption Rate (S-AR) pattern for a current sheet applicator used in Hyperthermia treatment. The FDTD method uses modified equations to rigorously model three dimensional dielectric boundaries and a nonuniform grid for computational efficiency. Results obtained using the FDTD method are compared with esperimental measurements made on phantoms and excellent agreement is obtained.

Coaxial Slot Antenna Design for Microwave Hyperthermia using Finite- Difference Time-Domain and Finite Element Method

Hyperthermia also called thermal therapy or thermotherapy is a type of cancer treatment in which body tissue is exposed to high temperatures. Research has shown that high temperatures can damage and kill cancer cells, usually with minimal injury to normal tissues. Otherwise, ablation or high temperature hyperthermia, including lasers and the use of radiofrequency, microwaves, and high-intensity...

Study on Fe3O4 Magnetic Nanoparticles ‎Size Effect on Temperature Distribution ‎of Tumor in Hyperthermia: A Finite ‎Element Method ‎

   In recent years, Hyperthermia has been used as an emerging technique for cancer treatment, especially for localized tumors. One of the promising cancer treatment approaches is magnetic nanoparticle (MNPs) Hyperthermia. In this theoretical work, the temperature distribution of a common tumor over the different sizes of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles, namely 25, 50, 100, and 200 nm, was stud...

A New Implicit Finite Difference Method for Solving Time Fractional Diffusion Equation

In this paper, a time fractional diffusion equation on a finite domain is con- sidered. The time fractional diffusion equation is obtained from the standard diffusion equation by replacing the first order time derivative by a fractional derivative of order 0 < a< 1 (in the Riemann-Liovill or Caputo sence). In equation that we consider the time fractional derivative is in...

An efficient finite difference time domain algorithm for band structure calculations of Phononic crystal

In this paper, a new algorithm for studying elastic wave propagation in the phononic crystals is presented. At first, the displacement-based forms of elastic wave equations are derived and then the forms are discretized using finite difference method. So the new algorithm is called the displacement-based finite difference time domain (DBFDTD). Three numerical examples are computed with this met...
