The goal of this project is to develop a prototype microwavephased array applicator for local tumor hyperthermia therapy. the therapeutic effectiveness of ionizing radiation therapy can be improved by the focused applicationof heat to the tumor. the use of microwaves for the genera-tion of local… More

The overall goal of this project is to complete development and to test a novel ultrasonic tapered linear phased array applicator for hyperthermia treatment. such an applicator will allow electronic steering of the focus along a desired path without the use of a mechanical scanning system; it will… More

A number of studies have suggested that noninvasive surgery using high intensity ultrasound ablatiofeasible, and offers significant advantages over conventional surgical techniques for many applicatiultrasound transducer is used to insonate a small tissue target or targets deep within the body… More

The goal of our work is to develop a new generation of commercial ultrasound applicators andassociated hardware/software capable of improved heating uniformity and controllability at variousdepths within the body, with specific application, for the first time, to thermal therapy for breast cancerand… More
