Abstract:We propose an interstitial coaxial antenna that can insert without a catheter for microwave ablation therapy, operating at 2.45 GHz. The cap of the antenna is an arrowhead that bonds copper plate and ceramic plate to suppress heat conduction in the tip direction. The temperature distribution in the improved liver phantom is measured by using the infrared thermography device. As a result, it is clarified that we nearly get the spherical distribution of an assumed tumor in shape.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
