Abstract :
A complete microwave intersitial hyperthermia system with temperature control by microwave radiometry is described. The designed antennas and all their characteristics for microwave heating and radiometry are presented and taken into account in the softwares of temperature control and heating pattern reconstruction. The complete system and its using are then detailed, and its possibilites are shown through a few hyperthermia sessions.
