Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Thermal Therapy
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Superficial hyperthermia treatments require precise temperature control for efficacy and safety.
  • Microstrip antenna arrays offer potential for large-area thermal therapy but present control challenges due to antenna coupling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an adaptive temperature control system for microstrip antenna arrays in superficial hyperthermia.
  • To ensure accurate and stable temperature distribution during treatment, minimizing complications.

Main Methods:

  • A recursive algorithm based on a first-order difference equation model was developed for rapid power updating.
  • Surface and depth temperature feedback from antenna elements and additional probes were utilized.
  • Experiments were conducted using a tissue-equivalent phantom with dynamic differential cooling.
