Preliminary Study of Coagulation Monitoring by Antenna for Treatment during Microwave Coagulation Therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microwave coagulation therapy (MCT) has been employed mainly for treatment of small size tumors. In the treatment, thin microwave antenna is inserted into the tumor and microwave energy heats up the tumor up to at least 60 degrees C for generation of enough coagulated volume including the target tumor. During the microwave radiation, reflection coefficient of treatment antenna changes significantly. In this paper, possibility of coagulation monitoring was found observing the reflection coefficient change of the antenna by numerical calculations and measurements.

This study presents analyses of triple-antenna configurations and designs for microwave (MW) hepatic ablation using 3-D finite-element (FE) analyses verified by in vitro experiments. Treatment of hepatic cancer often requires removal or destruction of large volume lesions. Using multiple antennas offers a potential solution for creating ablation zones with larger dimensions, as well as varied g...

Background: Hemophilia B is an X-linked hereditary disorder of blood coagulation system which is caused by factor IX (FIX) deficiency. Factor IX is a plasma glycoprotein that participates in the coagulation process leading to the generation of fibrin. Replacement of factor IX with plasma-derived or recombinant factor IX is the conventional treatment for hemophilia B to raise the factor IX le...

Background: During extrinsic coagulation pathway, a complex is developed between factor VII, calcium and tissue factor (a cell membrane lipoprotein that is exposed after cell injury). Factor VII needs calcium and vitamin K for its biologic activation. Coronary artery disease can be induced by increased level and activity of the coagulation factors VII, VIII and IX. In postmenopausal period, est...
