Computational Study on Effect of Microwave Induced Hyperthermia on Breast Tumor

In the present research, microwave induced hyperthermia technique was used as a solution, for the treatment of breast tumor of volume 561300 mm3. Techniques like chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery are generally used for the treatment of tumor. The present work describes the simulation carried on actual tumor images obtained from MRI scans of the breast. An optimized heat input (1W - 4W) was selected for constant frequency with respect to transient response Analysis is done on 2D finite element generated pathological human tissue containing tumour. The operating frequency of the antenna is 2.4GHz. Heat is generated using microwave induced hyperthermia and simple methodology of finding effective model parameters for the optimal interstitial microwave hyperthermia treatment is determined.
