This study evaluated a novel movable applicator phased array hyperthermia system. The system achieved significant heating in preclinical pig kidney simulations, demonstrating its clinical feasibility for targeted hyperthermia treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Physics
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Hyperthermia therapy uses heat to treat diseases, often cancer.
  • Existing phased array hyperthermia systems lack compact applicator designs and mobility.
  • A movable applicator system could improve treatment precision and patient comfort.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the preclinical performance of a novel movable applicator phased array hyperthermia system.
  • To assess the system's ability to steer power using amplitude and phase control.
  • To determine the clinical feasibility of the system in a preclinical setting.

Main Methods:

  • System description and quality assurance testing using scanned E-field measurements.
  • Preclinical evaluation in pig model targeting the left kidney.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Two heating sessions: one with normal blood flow and one with occluded blood flow.

    • Main Results:

    • The system demonstrated effective power steering capabilities.
    • In low-flow conditions, temperatures of 48°C (upper pole) and 46°C (lower pole) were achieved in the pig kidney.
    • In high-flow conditions, 48°C was reached in the upper pole of the kidney.

    Conclusions:

    • The movable applicator phased array hyperthermia system shows promise for targeted thermal therapies.
    • The system's design and performance suggest clinical feasibility for applications like cancer treatment.
    • Further research is warranted to optimize its use in clinical hyperthermia protocols.
