![]() | Christensen, Douglas A. | Computer-aided design of two-dimensional electric-type hyperthermia applicators using the finite-difference time-domain method | A hyperthermia applicator design tool consisting of a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique in combination with a graphical display of electric fields and normalized linear temperature rise is described. This technique calculates, rather than assumes, antenna current distributions; it incl... | Finite-difference time-domain method; Hyperthermia applicator | 1991-09 |

![]() | Christensen, Douglas A. | Multiple sensor optical thermometry system for application in clinical hyperthermia | The thermometry system described is based upon the temperature dependence of the band edge absorption of infrared light in GaAs crystal. The design of the thermometry was completed, and the system was subjected to an extensive evaluation, including testing with tissue phantoms and microwave applic... | Thermometry; Hyperthermia applicator; Phantom tests | 1984-01 |

![]() | Christensen, Douglas A. | Resonant inductive applicator for neck hyperthermia | We have designed and phantom tested an inductive applicator especially suited for producing hyperthermia in cancerous regions in the neck. The applicator is tuned to resonate near 27 MHz; its inductive nature has the advantage of efficient coupling to the irregular neck anatomy. An inhomogeneou... | Hyperthermia applicator; Phantom tests | 1989 |
