Heating analysis of a realistic human model for non-invasive hyperthermia using multi-electrode applicator

Abstract

Abstract:We numerically analyze the heating characteristics of a realistic anatomical model of human body using multi-electrode method in the radiowave hyperthermia of tumors. It is clarified that we can suppress heating around the electrode and achieve higher heating of tumor as compared to the conventional method. Keywords: RF hyperthermia, multi-electrode, heating distribution, realistic body Classification: Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) References[1] M.
