Area of Science:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Medical Physics
- Electromagnetics
Background:
- Microwave technology offers precise localized energy delivery.
- Radiometry enables non-invasive temperature monitoring.
- Integrating these modalities can enhance therapeutic and diagnostic capabilities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the feasibility of a combined microwave heating and radiometry system for biological tissues.
- To explore the potential applications of this integrated system in hyperthermia therapy and medical diagnostics.
Main Methods:
- A single system was designed to perform both localized microwave heating and microwave radiometry on subcutaneous living tissue.
- Experimental validation of the combined system's functionality was conducted.
Main Results:
- The experiment successfully demonstrated the concurrent operation of microwave local heating and microwave radiometry on subcutaneous tissue.
- The feasibility of using the same system for both functions was confirmed.
Conclusions:
- The combined microwave heating and radiometry system is a viable technology.
- Potential applications include precise temperature control in hyperthermia treatment and non-invasive detection of diseased tissues using radiometry.
