Phased-array systems have been tested to indicate that the SAR pattern can be altered by a proper combination of phase and amplitude controls of the incident electromagnetic waves. Microstrip patch radiators will be made by Cheung Laboratories, Inc. Under a subcontract to the City of Hope National Medical Center, dosimetry studies and software development will be conducted for a phased-array integrated system to be developed by Cheung Laboratories, Inc.Microstrip applicators of single- and multiplepatch arrangements will be tested on phantoms made of simulated brain, fat, muscle, and bone tissue in realistic shapes of the human head, neck, extremities, chest, and abdomen. Four frequencies will be used: 13.56, 300, 433, and 915 MHz. SAR patterns will be measured using a digital thermographic system. The power-generating system will be automated to control the phase and amplitude of the applied power to each applicator to achieve desired heating patterns. Software will be integrated into the final system for clinical applications.National Cancer Institute (NCI)
