Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Physics
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Selective hyperthermia offers a noninvasive method for deep tissue treatment using lasers or ultrasound.
  • Optimizing selective hyperthermia is challenging due to numerous dynamic and geometric variables.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and measure an optimization coefficient for selective hyperthermia.
  • To identify optimal parameters for enhanced treatment selectivity and efficacy.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an optimization coefficient relating dynamic and geometric parameters.
  • Utilized a near-infrared laser and indocyanine green (ICG) dye in gelatin phantoms to simulate tissue.
  • Measured temperature differences inside and outside a spherical target phantom irradiated by an 805-nm diode laser.

Main Results:

  • Calculated optimization coefficients based on temperature measurements at thermal equilibrium.
  • Identified optimal ICG concentration at 0.083% and optimal power at 0.97 W for the tested parameters.
  • Demonstrated that the proposed coefficient aids in comparing the selectivity of different parameter combinations.

Conclusions:

  • The developed optimization coefficient provides a method for optimizing selective hyperthermia parameters.
  • Optimal ICG concentration and laser power are crucial for maximizing treatment selectivity.
  • This approach can guide parameter selection for improved outcomes in hyperthermia treatments.
