Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To study some thermal problems in invasive microwave coagulation (IMC) therapy. METHODS: Temperature fields predicts, limitation and remedy methods of the Pennes bioheat transfer equation during the temperature distribution analyses and how to kill a large anomalistic tumor for only once were discussed. RESULTS: The coagulation area between the simulations and actual measured results showed good correspondence. Blood flow influenced the rise in temperature significantly. CONCLUSIONS: Thermal distribution with computer simulation in invasive microwave coagulation therapy is an accurate and reliable method.
