Abstract

Microwave hyperthermia is an effective non-ionizing heating method for tumor sensitization. Therapy planning is necessary to achieve optimal hyperthermia treatment. This study aims to simulate two microwave antennas with different geometrical aperture’s, used in hyperthermia, to choose the one giving better heating performances. The analysis of both the antennas provides a maximum temperature of 44.2°C and 41.9°C for the antenna with parallel plates and the trapezoidal antenna. Additionally, the Bland-Altman analysis shows an agreement between thermal simulations and measured temperatures with an average difference of 0.11°C and - 0.06 °C for parallel and trapezoidal antennas.
