Distribution of temperature field in phantom of hand with microwave radiation

Abstract

The present work presents the results of phantom of human hand simulation with the dielectric properties, very similar with human tissues properties. The simulation was conducted with using “CST Studio” software. The phantom was made by a “papier-mâché” method. The thermal field distribution was measured twice: for the simulation of phantom in “CST Studio” software, and for the phantom filled with dispersed meat of pork, the power was 2.45 GHz. The heating profile of certain points on phantom, including fingers, has been studied. It is shown that the heating profile of fingers zone is different from heating profile of wrist and forearm. The obtained experimental data have shown the possibility of using microwave radiation for deep cold injuries treatment.
