This study introduces the Sapic SV03 system for advanced radiological hyperthermia. It features new applicators for targeted cancer treatment, improving thermal control and heating patterns.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Radiotherapy

Background:

  • Radiological hyperthermia requires precise temperature control for effective cancer treatment.
  • Existing systems may lack versatility in applicator design and frequency range.
  • Advanced applicator development is crucial for optimizing heat delivery in diverse clinical scenarios.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the Sapic SV03, a computerized system for automated radiological hyperthermia.
  • To introduce and characterize three novel applicators designed for the Sapic SV03 system.
  • To evaluate the potential clinical applications of the new applicators, particularly for chest wall recurrences.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the Sapic SV03 system with multifrequency capabilities (915, 433, 2-30 MHz).
