Abstract

We have proposed the re-entrant resonant cavity applicator system for non-invasive brain tumor hyperthermia treatments. This paper discusses the heating properties of this system with human models for hyperthermia treatments. First, we present the heating properties of this system with human head agar phantoms and with computer simulations. Second, the brain tumors were seated in various locations within the human brain. Then, by changing the position of the human head agar phantom, we present the effectiveness of the heating properties for heating different locations in the agar phantoms. From these results, the possibility of clinical heating using our heating system was confirmed. Effective heating was possible in human head models with various types of deep-seated tumors by changing the position of the human head.
