Microwave Ablation: Principles and Applications
RadioGraphics, 2005Microwave ablation is the most recent development in the field of tumor ablation. The technique allows for flexible approaches to treatment, including percutaneous, laparoscopic, and open surgical access. With imaging guidance, the tumor is localized, and a thin (14.5-gauge) microwave antenna is placed directly into the tumor.

Adjustable zone microwave ablation
2015 USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium), 2015According to The National Cancer Institute, over 1.6 million people will be diagnosed with cancer in the United States in 2015. Of those diagnosed, more than 50% of patients experience liver metastasis. Only 30% of patients with liver metastasis tumors will have disease amenable to surgical resection due to high surgical risk or unfavorable anatomy ...

Microwave ablation for tachycardia
Images of the Twenty-First Century. Proceedings of the Annual International Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2003Application of microwave energy delivered through a probe and a catheter in open- and closed-chest dogs to induce atrio-ventricular block is described. Several microwave antennas/catheters with a preferential power deposition at the tip were designed, constructed and tested. These antennas were designed for operation at 2450 MHz. Measurements in saline

Smart Microwave Thermal Ablation Applicators
2024 IEEE INC-USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)Microwave thermal ablation is a therapeutic technique typically used to treat solid tumours by way of a high-power electromagnetic field emitted by a microwave antenna (often referred to as the applicator). In this contribution, the possibility of using the applicator to get information from the surrounding tissue is reported.
