Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Physics

Context:

  • Cancer treatment often involves multimodal approaches.
  • Hyperthermia therapy, using heat, can enhance radiotherapy efficacy.
  • Microwave-based devices offer a potential method for localized hyperthermia.

Purpose:

  • To design and develop a microwave-based hyperthermia device for clinical application.
  • To evaluate the surface temperature distribution of the designed device.
  • To assess the feasibility of integrating this device with radiotherapy.

Summary:

  • A two-part hyperthermia device (electrical and mechanical) was constructed.
  • Surface temperature distribution was assessed using a water-filled micro-pocket material.
  • Experimental temperature measurements helped define the effective therapeutic region.
