Ultimate Performance of Microwave Ablation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › peer-review

Abstract

Microwave ablation is a therapeutic procedure to eliminate abnormal tissue within a body selectively. One type of ablation, hyperthermia, is achieved by selectively raising the temperature at the target. This work identifies the fundamental bounds of the efficiency for hyperthermia and the sources to achieve them. The performance of such an optimal source exceeds that of existing solutions by 9.1 dB. The optimal source for hyperthermia is physically realized with an 11×11 dipole array, the performance of which closely approaches the bound.
