Abstract Electromagnetic heating of
biological tissues was studied using two types of physical models: (a)
excised animal tissues and surgical specimens - temperature distribution was
analyzed using an infrared camera immediately after microwave irradiation;
(b) phantoms made from gels and transparent waxes - temperature distribution
was visualized in real time during irradiation by means of liquid crystal
films. The results obtained with various types of applicators operating at
2450 MHz and 434 MHz demonstrate the necessity of surface cooling and the
advantage of a "cross fire" configuration in localized
hyperthermia. |
