Abstract

In this work, we report a coaxial antenna consisting of a flexible Y-monopole with dual-band operation and low-profile wideband flexible ferrite choke for delivering localized HT treatment at shallow insertion depth of 50 mm inside the cervix using custom fabricated non-metallic intrauterine cervix tandem of 8 mm outer diameter and 1 mm wall thickness. Variable treatment coverage was achieved by selecting the excitation of the dual-band Y-monopole as 915 and 1300 MHz. The Y-monopole is a coaxial wire with a Y-split in the exposed inner conductor and wideband flexible ferrite sheet on the outer conductor to suppress the secondary current. The water loaded Y-monopole inside the intrauterine tandem cervix applicator with 15° bend angle resonated at 915 and 1300 MHz for arm lengths of 21 and 13.5 mm, respectively. The heating characteristics of Y-monopole was assessed using tissue-mimicking phantoms. Phantom measurements indicate dual band operation with power reflection coefficient $ \leq -$ 24 dB at 915 and 1300 MHz. The measured extents of 25% axial specific absorption rate in tissue phantom at 915 and 1300 MHz is 39.4 and 28.4 mm, respectively. Localized power deposition with $\Delta T = 3$ °C iso-contour of 46.3 mm × 39.2 mm and 37 mm × 31 mm along axial and radial directions was measured at 915 and 1300 MHz, respectively. Phantom measurements demonstrate the ability of the proposed antenna to deliver variable treatment volume to the cervix through 15° intrauterine tandem.
双波段同轴y单极子通过宫内串联输送热疗治疗宫颈癌
在这项工作中,我们报道了一种同轴天线,由双波段操作的柔性y单极子和低配置宽带柔性铁氧体扼流圈组成,用于在宫颈内50 mm的浅插入深度提供局部高温治疗,使用定制的外径8 mm,壁厚1 mm的非金属宫内子宫颈串联。通过选择双频y单极子激励为915和1300 MHz,实现了不同的处理覆盖。y型单极子是同轴导线,在外露的内导体上有y型裂口,在外导体上有宽带柔性铁氧体片以抑制二次电流。当臂长为21和13.5 mm时,子宫内串联子宫颈施药器内载水y单极子的共振频率分别为915和1300 MHz,弯曲角度为15°。采用组织模拟模型对y型单极子的加热特性进行了评估。幻影测量表明双频工作功率反射系数$ \leq -$ 24 dB在915和1300 MHz。测量范围为25% axial specific absorption rate in tissue phantom at 915 and 1300 MHz is 39.4 and 28.4 mm, respectively. Localized power deposition with $\Delta T = 3$ °C iso-contour of 46.3 mm × 39.2 mm and 37 mm × 31 mm along axial and radial directions was measured at 915 and 1300 MHz, respectively. Phantom measurements demonstrate the ability of the proposed antenna to deliver variable treatment volume to the cervix through 15° intrauterine tandem.
