This study introduces a method using circuit theory and S-parameters to improve specific absorption rate (SAR) distribution in electromagnetic hyperthermia systems. Applying this technique significantly enhances SAR accuracy in phantom experiments.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Electromagnetics
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Electromagnetic phased arrays are used in hyperthermia for targeted heating.
  • Mutual coupling between applicators causes deviations in specific absorption rate (SAR) distribution from intended patterns.
  • Accurate SAR distribution is crucial for effective and safe hyperthermia treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for accurately predicting and controlling SAR distribution in N-applicator phased array hyperthermia systems.
  • To address the challenge of signal changes due to mutual coupling.
  • To improve the precision of electromagnetic hyperthermia treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized circuit theory and S-parameters to model an N-applicator phased array system.

    • Main Results:

    • A method was developed to precisely control SAR distribution by accounting for mutual coupling effects.
    • The derived matrix equation accurately relates generator signals to applicator excitation.
    • Phantom experiments demonstrated a significant improvement in SAR distribution accuracy when the method was applied.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed method effectively compensates for mutual coupling in phased array hyperthermia systems.
    • Accurate SAR distribution control is achievable using S-parameter measurements and circuit theory.
    • This approach enhances the reliability and efficacy of electromagnetic hyperthermia therapy.
