Abstract

The use of vinyl chloride sheet 0.08 mm thick with a window in various sizes and shapes can control the temperature distribution in 8 MHz RF-heating using agar phantom model. It may enable a more precise heating area, even in the case of the tumor having various shapes and depth. In addition, excessive heat deposition may be avoided in normal surrounding tissues in RF-heating.
