Comparison of the presence and non-presence states of magnetite nanoparticles in tissue-equivalent breast phantom via radiofrequency hyperthermia
Objective(s): Breast cancer is a fatal disease and the leading cause of mortality in women. Radiofrequency hyperthermia is an approach to the treatment of cancer cells through increasing their temperature. The present study aimed to investigate breast tumor ablation via radiofrequency hyperthermia in the presence and non-presence states of magnetite nanoparticles and assess the effects of magne...
متن کاملA tissue‐equivalent phantom series for mammography dosimetry
A breast tissue-equivalent series (BRTES) of phantoms is manufactured to mimic both the attenuation and the density of the range of glandular and adipose tissue compositions encountered in mammography. The BRTES simulates breast tissues across the range of 20% to 70% glandularity and can be assembled in a variety of thicknesses to represent a compressed breast thickness corresponding to glandul...
متن کاملA soft deformable tissue-equivalent phantom for diffuse optical tomography.
A recipe is presented for the manufacture of highly compressible phantoms for diffuse optical tomography. The recipe is based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) slime, a viscoelastic fluid which readily deforms under moderate pressure. Scattering particles and absorbing compounds can be added to provide a uniform material with stable and reproducible optical properties. A linear relationship between th...
متن کاملTissue-mimicking phantom materials for narrowband and ultrawideband microwave applications.
We propose and characterize oil-in-gelatin dispersions that approximate the dispersive dielectric properties of a variety of human soft tissues over the microwave frequency range from 500 MHz to 20 GHz. Different tissues are mimicked by selection of an appropriate concentration of oil. The materials possess long-term stability and can be employed in heterogeneous configurations without change i...
متن کاملTime-resolved optical imaging of a solid tissue-equivalent phantom.
A solid plastic phantom has been developed with optical properties that closely match those of human breast tissue at near-IR wavelengths. The phantom is a 54-mm-thick slab containing four small cylinders of contrasting scatter and absorption. A detailed description of the phantom is followed by an account of an attempt to image the phantom by a time-resolved imaging technique. Images generated...
