Chapter in the book "Electromagnetic Imaging for a Novel Generation of Medical Devices" (Lecture Notes in Bioengineering), presenting results of the EU project EMERALD.
To ensure a constant desired temperature level in the cancerous tissue and to prevent damage of healthy cells, accurate temperature control is necessary during hyperthermia treatment. Authors present a temperature estimation approach based on ultra-wideband M-sequence radar technology developed at Technische Universität Ilmenau. The methodology utilizes the knowledge of temperature dependencies of tissue dielectric properties and ongoing ultra-wideband measurements allowing imaging and estimation of dielectric properties which are converted to temperature values. The components of sensing and heating part of the system are investigated numerically so that suitable antenna array configurations can be defined. Furthermore, the system is experimentally validated on a neck phantom filled with corresponding tissue mimicking materials, which imitate the dielectric properties of the tissues. Exemplary results of these developments are presented in this chapter.
