MR images-based microwave focusing for thermal therapy

Abstract

A microwave (MW) focusing technique for non-invasive thermal therapy is presented. The proposed technique provides a thermal focusing at localized tissues as a cancer tissue and a deep tissue for muscular disorder treatment. We employed a time reversal technique for the targeted MW focusing and computational solvers for electromagnetic and thermal analysis are developed. To verify the proposed technique, we applied to an anatomically electromagnetic model based on magnetic resonance images. This work is a computational study to predict performances of the MW focusing system in our future work. © 2017 Association for Computing Machinery.
