Study of microwave energy localization in human tissue

This paper presents a study of the microwave energy localization for pathologic treatment of the knee in human tissue. For the computational study, we have developed the finite difference time domain (FDTD) electromagnetic (EM) solver and FDTD thermal solver. The simulation test using these solver was performed for a 2D knee model with the tumor at 915 MHz. The time reversal (TR) algorithm was proposed the effective beam focusing at the target position. The detailed results are presented and discussed.
