Abstract

A series of applicators based on phased array antenna (PAA) has been created for electromagnetic high-frequency hyperthermia and simultaneous radiation therapy of tumors characterized by high transparency for gamma radiation. Studies have been carried out on the stability of the material of the main element of the microstrip emitter its antenna to the ionizing radiation. Possible seven sizes of applicator operating at a frequency of 434 MHz were considered. The distribution of the square of the component of the electrical part of the electromagnetic field emitted by the applicator – SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) in the plane of the applicator aperture was measured. Experimental results of SAR distribution in the plane of the applicator aperture from single modules for different phases of electromagnetic fields of excitation are presented. The main parameters of the Quality Standard in oncological hyperthermia, which should be achieved in the treatment of cancer patients with a specific list of nosological forms of neoplasms, are considered.
