    Using two tilted microwave applicators improves hyperthermia treatment for superficial tumors. Controlled phase relations allow for precise power distribution, enhancing therapeutic temperature delivery to tumor peripheries.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Medical Physics
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Single microwave applicators struggle to achieve therapeutic temperatures at tumor periphery in superficial hyperthermia.
    • Multiple applicators are investigated to enhance power distribution and deep heating for improved clinical outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the use of two tilted microwave applicators for improved power distribution in clinical hyperthermia.
    • To analyze absorbed power distribution from two conventional radiative apertures (TE10) under various conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical calculations of absorbed power distribution in a homogeneous muscle-equivalent medium.
    • Phantom experiments using a thermographic camera to validate theoretical models.
    • Studied effects of frequency, aperture size, tilting angle, and phase relations (non-coherent/coherent).

    Main Results:

    • Controlled phase relations between two tilted applicators significantly vary absorbed power distribution.
    • Lower microwave and upper radiofrequency bands were explored for applicator excitation.
    • Theoretical and experimental data provide insights into power deposition patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • Two tilted applicators offer improved control over power distribution in microwave hyperthermia.
    • Optimizing phase relations is crucial for achieving therapeutic temperatures at tumor periphery.
    • Findings guide probe placement for accurate temperature monitoring in clinical settings.
