TL;DR: The objective of this study is to monitor the induced temperature rise via the change in the resistivity of body tissue, and hence control the microwave power during treatment, and to assess the thermal dose in microwave hyperthermia using electrical impedance tomography in vivo.

TL;DR: Two experimental studies are presented that attempt to assess the use of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to map thermal changes deep in the body to indicate the value of continued development of EIT for non-invasive thermometry.

TL;DR: The results are described, indicating the potential of APT to provide an image of the heated volume in tissue and an impedance imaging method for display of induced thermal gradients during hyperthermia treatment.

TL;DR: In this paper, a planar spectral diffraction (PSD) algorithm is proposed to predict the field from one aperture radiator in contact with layered tissue, which enables the prediction of a minimum number of phased contacting radiators required for selective heating within lung tissue through fat and muscle layers at 2.45 GHz, and provides a guide for the design requirements of a multiapplicator system.

TL;DR: Experiments on a homogeneous muscle-equivalent phantom have shown that the scanning antenna system produces uniform temperature distributions over large areas of arbitrary shape.
