ABSTRACT:
An automated temperature scanning system for monitoring hyperthermia treatment has a linear drive assembly operatively connected to a non-rotational extended-length screw shaft which is linearly translated by a stepper motor. A first tube having a thermometric probe concentrically positioned therein is fixedly secured to the linear drive assembly so as to be motivated thereby. A second tube is secured at one end to an interstitial catheter and is adapted to be at least partially slidably received within the first tube so that linear movement of the first tube toward the second tube slidably moves the thermometric probe within the second tube and an interstitial catheter associated therewith. A computer is electrically connected to the stepper motor to control the movement of the thermometric probe utilizing real time data generated thereby.
