INTRODUCTION
• Biomedical use of electronic technology associated with
electromagnetic(EM) fields and waves have been enhanced.
• Typically, such antennas are positioned near the body, and a bolus full of deionized
water is used to fill the gap between the radiating antenna and the body.
• Numerical methods that can be used to design antennas for hyperthermia systems and
to evaluate the SAR distribution and corresponding temperature increments.
• To provide cooling to help maintain the temperature of the most superficial body layers
at normal levels.
EXTERNAL ANTENNAS TYPES :
• Inductive applicator.
• Patch antenna.
• Focal point can be shifted by changing the amplitudes and phases feeding the
different antennas in the array.
• A conformal array applicator adapts its shape to the body and is made using
dual-mode microstrip antenna.
• It operates at 915 MHz, has been developed to heat tumors that cover large
surface areas.
In addition to this, it also helps in heart ablation therapy for treating its
Monopole Antennas
Dipoles Antennas
• Another arm of the dipole consists of the feeding coaxial line, whose length
equal to the insertion depth of the line in the body.
• Its performance depends greatly on the length of the two arms of the
dipole and on the antenna’s operating frequency.
CONCLUSION
• Clearly, a great deal has been accomplished in the design of antennas
