In this communication, we present a full-wave numerical study aimed at showing the potential of microwave tomography as a tool to monitor microwave ablation of solid tumors. The goal is to track the changes in dielectric properties of the tissue undergoing the treatment, in order to appraise the evolving dimension and shape of the thermally ablated area surrounding the applicator. Such an in-line...
In the framework of medical applications of microwaves, magnetic nanoparticles enhanced microwave imaging represents a promising diagnostic modality. As a matter of fact, it merges the safety, low-cost and portability of microwave technology with the increased specificity enabled by the selective targeting capability of magnetic nanoparticles. In particular, a key ingredient of this technique is the...
Microwave ablation is a cancer treatment based on the induction of coagulative necrosis of tumor cells by local heating. Recently, such a technique has progressed significantly in the clinical practice. However, its effectiveness would improve dramatically if paired with a system for the real-time monitoring of the evolving dimension and shape of the thermally ablated area. This paper explores the...
