ABSTRACT:
A direct contact microwave diathermy applicator consisting of a rectangular waveguide in which are secured two parallel Teflon dielectric loading slabs. This assembly is secured in a waveguide-coaxial cable adaptor, enabling the applicator to be energized from a microwave diathermy machine. The configuration of the applicator causes the tissue under treatment to exhibit approximately uniform heating patterns over a substantial portion of the treated tissue area and minimizes harmful scatter radiation. This uniform heating is particularly useful in effecting microwave induced hyperthermia treatment of cancer.
