Methods: The finite element method (FEM) was used to calculate,electromagnetic field and SAR distribution. Two different structure applicators were simulated. Theone is simple coaxial antenna, which has been successfully used in clinic treating bone tumors inTangdu hospital of the Forth Military Medical University several years. It was formed by a coaxialcable peeled off the out copper at end. The other applicator was coaxial- slot antenna, which waswidely used in microwave hyperthermia. The applicator inserted into the cylindrical bone withdifferent depths, and worked at the frequency of 2 450 MHz. Results: The electric field and SARgenerated by the simple coaxial applicator were mainly concentrated out the tissues, and were notuniform in the tissues, while the coaxial- slot applicator well transmits the electric field and SARinto the tissues, and can easily treat different position by adjusting the slat position.Conclusion: The results calculated by EFM, were well accordant with the experimental and clinicalresulls, and will be important for improving the clinical effects of microwave hyperthermia.展开更多

Methods: A novel microwave probe was developed and tested in ex vivo specimens of swine liver. Group A was not given saline infusion under power output 50 W. Group B, C, D under power output 90 W were tested respectively according to the condition of no saline infusion (group B), 5 min preinfusion (5 ml saline, group C), preinfusion and continuous infusion (at the rate of 1 ml/min, group D) using the novel probe. The sizes of the microwave-induced lesions were evaluated and the volume of the tissue destruction qualified. Results: The approximate volumes of the microwave-induced lesions were (16.48±3.86) cm3, (28.86±6.15) cm3, (34.11±5.86) cm3, (40.50±10.88) cm3, respectively (P<0.01). Preinfusion and continuous infusion (group D) created more spherical lesions than only preinfusion (group C). Conclusion: The newly-developed microwave probe increased the volume of coagulation necrosis, created a more spherical lesion under the power output of 90 W, and might achieve the effective treatment of larger neoplasm with a single application of microwave energy.展开更多

Methods Sixty-two patients with protruding lesions of esophagus were examined with MPS. Results The MPS examination showed diseases of esophageal polyp, inflammatory protruding, esophageal leiomyoma, esophageal leiomyosarcoma, esophageal venous aneurysm, esophageal lipoma, esophageal cyst, esophageal carcinoma, and extra esophageal compression including aorta compression, lung tumor compression and spina compression. Fourteen patients were verified by surgical operations and pathological examinations, resulting in 92.86% (13/14) diagnosis accuracy rate. Forty-eight cases had results of gastroscope examination consistent with that of MPS. Twelve cases had results of CT and MRI examination consistent with that of MPS. Follow-up was completed on 22 patients. Conclusion Besides imaging the esophageal layer, MPS can precisely locate the histological layer of the esophageal protruding lesions and predict their characters. This indicates its value in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the protruding lesions of esophagus. Furthermore, the miniature probe used in MPS examination can pass the structured esophagus, enabling wider application of the examination.展开更多
