![]() | Christensen, Douglas A. | Influence of temperature probe sheathing materials during ultrasonic heating | The influence of sheathing materials upon temperature probes used during the monitoring of ultrasonic heating was measured. The measurements show that the sheathing can be heated in a manner not representative of the temperature rise occurring in the surrounding material, altering the probe reading... | Ultrasonic hyperthermia; Sheathing; Phantom tests; Teflon | 1986-05 |

![]() | 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 |
