Computer simulation of nano-assisted microwave thermal therapy for cancerous biological tissue

Microwave ablation has becoming more popular as an alternative to hepatic resection because it has a better chance of survival overall than both proton beam therapy and external beam radiation therapy. Compared to radiofrequency ablation, it also has a better overall long-term survival rate without a recurrence. Microwave heating is a common therapy method that uses microwave energy to raise the body temperature in order to destroy tumor cells. When the microwave energy is absorbed by healthy tissues, it might cause unwanted damage. Numerical models can tell us a lot about how to improve the design and optimization of microwave ablation procedures. The purpose of this investigation is to: Magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) can be used to minimize the damage to normal tissue in the surrounding area in the adjacent to the tumor. Finite Element Methods (FEM) are used to represent a 2D axially symmetric liver tissue and then a tumor with a half-elliptical shape is added. An antenna with a coaxial cable the catheter, is implanted just outside the liver's protective layer. Afterwards, the magnetic NPs are dispersed throughout the tumor area. Microwave efficiency the performance of heating with and without the diffusion of nanoparticles is compared. Tissue necrosis as a result of high power dissipation density and temperature dispersion. There was a substantial correlation between all of the variables studied in the liver's porous tissue, the SAR profile, temperature profile For example, the advanced outcomes of this research can be employed in actual treatment counseling and can be created for therapeutic purposes.
