Abstract

İnsan vücudu ile elektromanyetik dalgaların etkileşimi, dokuların ve hücrelerin dielektrik özellikleri gibi
faktörlerin yanı sıra diğer etkenler tarafından da şekillenir. Mikrodalga hipertermi ve mikrodalga
görüntüleme uygulamalarında, deney ortamı ölçüm düzeneklerinde simülasyon sonuçlarını doğrulamak
için doku taklit eden materyallere ihtiyaç vardır. Bu çalışmada hipertermi uygulamalarında kullanılmak
üzere kadın memelerine ait bazı doku taklit materyallerinin karakterizasyonu sunulmuştur. Karakterize
edilen doku taklit malzemelerinin maliyeti ucuz ve üretim aşamaları kolaydır. Deri, kas, meme yağı ve
kanserli dokular ISM bandı 434 MHz'de önerilmektedir.

Tissue Mimicking Gel Characterization Developed for a Breast Microwave Hyperthermia Applicator

Abstract

The interaction of electromagnetic waves with the human body is determined by the dielectric
properties of tissues and cells along with other considerations. The complex dielectric properties of the
materials are very important for the interaction of the electromagnetic waves within the human body.
In microwave hyperthermia and microwave imaging applications, there is a need of tissue mimicking
materials to validate the simulation results in in vitro measurement setups. In this paper, we presented
the characterization of some tissue materials belonging to female breast to be used for hyperthermia
applications. The characterized tissue mimicking materials are inexpensive and have simple recipes that
are easy to formulate. Skin, muscle, breast fat and cancerous tissues are proposed at ISM band 434
MHz.
