Thermal ablation treatments are considered to be an effective alternative to conventional surgery to fight liver cancers, but an effective treatment monitoring is needed for a full exploitation of their therapeutic potential. Since thermally treated tissue exhibits different dielectric properties as compared to untreated tissue, microwave imaging is a potential candidate. In this communication the prototype of a microwave imaging system to monitor thermal ablation of liver is presented together with its initial experimental validation.

Abstract
Thermal ablation treatments are considered to be an effective alternative to conventional surgery to fight liver cancers, but an effective treatment monitoring is needed for a full exploitation of their therapeutic potential. Since thermally treated tissue exhibits different dielectric properties as compared to untreated tissue, microwave imaging is a potential candidate. In this communication the prototype of a microwave imaging system to monitor thermal ablation of liver is presented together with its initial experimental validation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
