Electromagnetic field interaction with biological tissues and their applications in cancer treatment research has become of growing interest. This paper describes the possibility of using a slot-line type applicator for microwave hyperthermia treatment in oncology. What we aim to show in this paper is that this type of applicator is particularly suitable for the treatment of superficial cancers with depths 2–3 cm below the body surface. To support this thesis, a 3D electromagnetic field simulator has been used to predict the specific absorbed ratio (SAR), and the consequent temperature distribution in the area under treatment. The results of the simulations are supported by experimental temperature measurements made with the help of an infrared thermo-camera on a homogeneous agar phantom. The possibility to use an array configuration of this applicator in order to treat bigger areas is also analyzed using computer simulation of SAR distribution.

用于微波热疗的槽线敷料器

电磁场与生物组织的相互作用及其在癌症治疗研究中的应用越来越受到关注。本文描述了在肿瘤学中使用槽线型敷贴器进行微波热疗的可能性。我们在本文中的目的是展示这种类型的涂药器特别适用于治疗体表以下 2-3 厘米深度的浅表癌。为支持本论文，已使用 3D 电磁场模拟器来预测比吸收率 (SAR) 以及随后治疗区域的温度分布。模拟结果得到了在均质琼脂模型上的红外热像仪的帮助下进行的实验温度测量的支持。
