Abstract
Microwave thermotherapy (MT) is an oncological treatment. At present the invasive thermometer probes are clinically used for temperature measuring during an MT. Any invasive handling of tumors is of high-risk. A new possible method of noninvasive monitoring of temperature distribution in tissue has been developed. An MT treatment of the experimentally induced pedicle-tumors of the rat was prepared. For 100 rat samples a strong correlation between the mean gray level in the ROIs in the ultrasound pictures and the invasively measured temperature in the range 37-44 °C was found. The correlation coefficient of the mean gray level and the invasively measured temperature is 0.96a0.05. A system for representation of changes of spatial temperature distribution of the whole tumor during MT is presented.
