Experimental measurements and numerical simulations are conducted with the aim of developing a numerical tool able to predict the very high temperature increases found in microwave thermal ablation procedures. Measurements of the temperature increase close to the microwave antenna have been performed. Measured data have been compared with numerical results obtained solving the bio-heat equation (BHE). The influence of the liquid refrigerating the antenna is put into evidence.
