Studies of Temperature Rise in Subcutaneous Fat Tissue during RF-hyperthermia

Kazuyoshi Nakajima, Haruo Hisazumi

Abstract

Temperature rise of the subcutaneous fat tissue underneath a heating probe and the intravesical space was studied in 21 patients with bladder tumor during RF-heating. There were significant correlations (p<0.01) between the thickness of the subcutaneous fat tissue and the intravesical temperature, and the temperature of the subcutaneous fat tissue. In addition, similar correlations were observed between the mean output power and the intravesical temperature.
