Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Thermal Medicine

Background:

  • Blood perfusion significantly complicates precise temperature control during cancer hyperthermia.
  • Variations in perfusion over time, temperature, and location present a complex control challenge for multi-antenna hyperthermia systems and heterogeneous tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the applicability of a real-time eigenvalue model reduction (virtual source - VS) reduced-order controller for hyperthermia treatment of tissue with nonlinearly varying perfusion.
  • To assess the controller's ability to achieve selective tumor heating by adjusting antenna power deposition patterns.

Main Methods:

  • A piecewise linear approximation was applied to heat pulses (1-min heat-up, 2-min cool-down).
  • The controller utilized simulated magnetic resonance temperature imaging (MRTI) data with Gaussian noise for feedback to adjust antenna phase and magnitude.
  • Numerical robustness tests were performed on a simulated patient's right leg with variations in perfusion, electrical/thermal properties, and model simplifications.

Main Results:

  • The VS controller improved selective tumor heating, achieving >43°C in approximately 75% of tumor volume while keeping 93% of healthy tissue <41°C.
  • Effective sarcoma heating was achieved using only 2-3 VSs, significantly reducing convergence time to 4-9% of the original.
  • The controller demonstrated robustness against discrepancies in tissue properties and model simplifications.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed VS reduced-order controller, using piecewise linear approximations, enhances hyperthermia treatment efficiency for leg sarcomas.
  • The algorithm successfully accommodates nonlinear variations in tissue properties like blood perfusion.
  • This approach offers improved therapeutic outcomes and reduced treatment times in hyperthermia.
