Aim of this work is to characterize temperature increases obtained during a microwave thermal ablation procedure, and to evaluate their influence on the obtained results. Measurements have been performed of the dielectric properties of ex-vivo bovine liver tissue and of the temperature increase close to the microwave antenna. Measured data have been compared with numerical results obtained solving the bio-heat equation (BHE). The limits of the BHE are put into evidence, as well as the influence of the liquid refrigerating the antenna
