Abstract:
|
This project will focus on the practical simulation of the focusing properties of the 27 MHz Mettler diathermy system that is potentially used as a heating tool in the treatment of tumors by hyperthermia. The simulation is carried out using the advanced 4NEC2 Finite Element Method software. The goal is the accurately model the focusing properties of the diathermy system with a view to improve the efficiency of the system by possibly using conductive reflectors to enhance the focusing property. In this project, it was possible to accurately model the diathermy system, and generate the 3-dimensional electric field patterns of the system. These results will be compared with experimental results that are being generated presently as part of another student project. |
