Article Synopsis
- The study explores enhancing microwave ablation (MWA) of liver tumors by optimizing an aperiodic tri-slot coaxial antenna's structure, insertion depth, and power input.
- A computational model was validated through experiments on healthy pig livers to test conformal ablation on tumors of varying sizes and shapes.
- Results indicated that using advanced optimization techniques, the antenna could effectively ablate liver tumors, showing consistent temperature distribution and effectiveness across different tumor characteristics.
Microwave (MW) antenna is a key element in microwave ablation (MWA) treatments as the means that energy is delivered in a focused manner to the tumor and its surrounding area. The energy delivered results in a rise in temperature to a lethal level, resulting in cell death in the ablation zone. The delivery of energy and hence the success of MWA is closely dependent on the structure of the antennas.
