A coaxial-slot antenna for invasive microwave hyperthermia therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
When the technique of invasive microwave hyperthermia is applied to cancer treating, the distribution of microwave thermal field and the effect of the therapy are determined by the type of microwave radiative antenna. The thermal field of biological tissue produced by microwave radiative antenna is investigated in this paper. The distribution of thermal field and specific absorption rate (SAR) of invasive coaxial-slot antenna in the frequency of 2450 MHz are obtained by the technique of finite element analysis. According to the experiment of heating the ex vivo pork liver by this kind of antenna, the result concordant with the theory is obtained. Therefore, it is suggested that this research could be a reference for clinical therapy and operation scheme.

Introduction Hyperthermia therapy is commonly used for tumor treatment that already has been widely investigated. The principle of hyperthermia therapy employs the clear difference in heat sensitivity of normal cells and tumor cells at 42°C to 43°C and above. This difference is used for selective killing of only the tumor cells. Recently, hyperthermia therapy combined with magnetic resonance im...

Combination of interstitial hyperthermia and radiation brachytherapy has been shown to be effective for treatment of a tumor. After increasing the temperature, the tumor becomes sensitive to radiation dose, and as a result the radiation dose can be reduced. The purpose of this study was to identify the appropriate invasive antenna array which can be effectively used on a deep-seated breast tumo...
