Temperature distribution in the phantom of limb in the microwave chamber with linear source of radiation

Abstract

Abstract The paper presents results of temperature distribution in the phantom of limb under the microwave radiation. The authors have developed automated apparatus based on linear positioner and temperature detector. The apparatus is aimed at measuring the distribution of thermal field in phantom of a human hand. It was shown that impulse microwave radiation with a power of 40W during 6 minutes leads to uniform heating along longitudinal axis of phantom. The apparatus “SMVi-200” was used as a microwave source being normally applied for hypothermia treatment.
