This study introduces an antenna array method to improve specific absorption rate (SAR) distribution for hyperthermia treatment of deep tumors. Optimized excitation coefficients enhance SAR patterns, leading to better therapeutic outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Electromagnetics and Applied Physics
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Hyperthermia treatment requires precise control of radiofrequency energy deposition.
  • Optimizing antenna array excitation is crucial for achieving targeted heating in deep-seated tumors.
  • Existing methods may face challenges in achieving desired specific absorption rate (SAR) distributions within complex biological tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and validate a novel method for determining antenna array excitation coefficients.
  • To optimize SAR distribution for enhanced hyperthermia treatment of deep-seated tumors.
  • To investigate the application of this method in a realistic waveguide model representing the human torso.

Main Methods:

  • A method for calculating antenna array excitation coefficients was developed.

  • Optimization was performed to improve SAR distribution around a simulated deep tumor.
  • A two-dimensional waveguide model, representing a torso section, was used for simulations.
  • Numerical simulations were conducted to assess the method's effectiveness.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed method successfully determined optimal excitation coefficients for the antenna array.
    • Simulations demonstrated improved SAR distributions compared to non-optimized scenarios.
    • The approach showed effectiveness even when the array operated below the waveguide's dominant mode cutoff frequency.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method offers a viable approach for enhancing SAR distribution in hyperthermia.
    • Optimized antenna array excitation can significantly improve the efficacy of deep-seated tumor treatment.
