| Abstract | The purpose of this effort is to produce a microwave applicator that can heat skin and superficial disease overlying large areas of contoured anatomy with minimal setup complexity and maximum patient comfort. We describe the design of a 3-layer printed circuit board (PCB) array of independently driven Dual Concentric Conductor (DCC) microwave antennas intended for heating tissue, interspersed with a second set of concentrically mounted receive mode antennas to be connected by a multiplexing switch to the input of a radiometer for measuring temperature dependent emissions from tissue. Results of applicator heating performance are given demonstrating the controllability of power deposition in homogeneous muscle phantom as well as the uniformity of steady state temperature in a patient with chestwall recurrence of breast carcinoma. Because adequate temperature monitoring of large contoured tissue regions is difficult to accomplish with probe technology, this effort includes initial feasibility studies of adding microwave radiometry sensing of temperature under each heat aperture. Preliminary results characterize the measurement region of a spiral microstrip receiving antenna when mounted concentrically inside a DCC heating aperture, and demonstrate the linear correlation of radiometer-recorded brightness temperature as a function of load temperature when measured through an intervening 5 mm thick water bolus at 40/spl deg/C. The data clearly indicate that complimentary heating and radiometry antennas may be combined in a thin and flexible microstrip array applicator for time-sequenced microwave heating and non-invasive temperature monitoring of large contoured superficial tissue regions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
