Abstract :

As the technology developed, thermal therapy of tumors has been widely applied in clinical field. Especially, the microwave thermal therapy of tumors has attracted much interest recently due to the maneuverability, faster heat generation from microwave radiation, depth of penetration in tissues, less susceptibility to local heat tissues and perfect ability of killing tumor cells. Because it is difficult to limit the microwave into tumor region without damaging normal tissues, the microwave heating dose cannot be controlled accurately during the microwave thermal therapy procedure. This greatly restricts the development of microwave thermal therapy technology. Based on the confinement efficiency, we packaged microwave susceptible unit into hollow micron or nano-sized structure, to enhance the microwave thermal conversion efficiency and resolved the difficulty of targeted heating tumor region. Simultaneously, we combined CT imaging unit for CT imaging guided microwave thermal therapy, which can control the microwave heating dose accurately.
