Abstract In this study an attempt was
made to calculate temperature distribution in a breast tumor
irradiated by microwaves. An ellipsoidal model of absorbing dielectric
surrounded by a non absorbing medium irradiated by a plane wave was
considered. The energy was calculated inside and outside the ellipsoid by an
analytical method. Three-dimensional and densitographic
patterns were calculated for different frequencies, conductivities and shapes
of the model. Assuming experimental (in vivo) thermal properties of breast
tissue thermal patterns were calculated. |
