Intracavitary Applicator for Sequential Delivery of Localized Hyperthermia Through Non-Metallic Uterine Tandem
Abstract:
In this article, we report the design and demonstration of a flexible coaxial wire antenna with a low profile flexible choke for delivering localized hyperthermia (HT) treatment to the cervix through a custom designed uterine tandem applicator. Resistive and magnetic materials were investigated for determining the flexible choke design suited for intracavitary HT treatment at 915 MHz. Measurements of the intracavitary antenna with the flexible choke in tissue mimicking phantom and ex-vivo bovine muscle through the non-metallic uterine tandem prototype confirm the ability to deliver localized HT to the cervix at 915 MHz and 50 mm insertion depth.
