چکیده
Hyperthermia is the most recent therapy in investigating the biological effects and applications of microwaves for treatment of cancer and tumour. It refers to an artificial heating above 45°C in order to cure cancer. Various antennas like slot antenna, loop antenna, dipole antenna and patch antenna etc. are used as Hyperthermia applicators for damaging and killing cancerous cells from the body. In this paper, an annular patch antenna operating at 434 MHz has been use as applicator. A simple planar three layer phantom model has been used to examine the effect of applicator at varying distances from the body. The Specific Absorption Rate and return loss are computed and compared at different distance of antenna from body. Finite Element Method is used to generate the model and predict the absorbed energy.

Theoretical comparison of intraluminal heating techniques.
INTRODUCTION This study compared simulated temperature distributions of intraluminal heating devices, concerning penetration and homogeneity. A hot water balloon, a 434-MHz monopole and a 915-MHz dipole antenna, both with incorporated cooling, and a 27-MHz applicator were investigated. METHODS The hot water balloon had an inlet temperature of 45 degrees C and a flow rate of 7.85 ml s(-1). The...
متن کاملThermal magnetic resonance: physics considerations and electromagnetic field simulations up to 23.5 Tesla (1GHz)
BACKGROUND Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and most aggressive malign brain tumor. The 5-year survival rate after tumor resection and adjuvant chemoradiation is only 10 %, with almost all recurrences occurring in the initially treated site. Attempts to improve local control using a higher radiation dose were not successful so that alternative additive treatments are urgently needed. ...

This work demonstrates the feasibility of a hybrid radiofrequency (RF) applicator that supports magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and MR controlled targeted RF heating at ultrahigh magnetic fields (B0≥7.0T). For this purpose a virtual and an experimental configuration of an 8-channel transmit/receive (TX/RX) hybrid RF applicator was designed. For TX/RX bow tie antenna electric dipoles were employ...

Calcific tendinopathy of the rotator cuff. Conservative management with 434 Mhz local microwave diathermy (hyperthermia): a case study.
PURPOSE To report the effects of local microwave diathermy (hyperthermia) at 434 Mhz on calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder in two middle aged patients. METHODS Two middle-aged women with calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder were treated with local microwave diathermy (hyperthermia) at 434 Mhz three times a week for four weeks. Plain radiographs and ultrasonography demonstrated calcific de...
