Cancer Treatment
Solid-state RF generator solutions are revolutionizing the field of cancer treatment, offering a host of benefits and innovative applications. They generate high-power RF energy, which is used in various cancer treatment technologies such as cancer ablation and heating.
In cancer ablation, solid-state RF generators are used to create localized regions of heat through high-frequency electrical currents, effectively killing nearby cancer cells.
For instance, GaN solid-state microwave generators have been designed for non-invasive tumor ablation using microwave energy.
These generators offer excellent thermal stability, resulting in reliable prolonged continuous operations.
In terms of cancer heating, solid-state RF generators play a crucial role in thermal magnetic resonance-based anti-cancer treatment. They provide consistent and reliable RF heating, which has been experimentally validated with MR thermometry. The use of higher frequencies such as 2.45GHz and 5.8GHz offers faster heating over a larger volume, less susceptibility to heat sinks or local perfusion, and no requirement for ground pads.
Compared to traditional methods, solid-state RF generators offer more precise control of frequency, power, and signal source, leading to more effective and safer cancer treatments. Therefore, solid-state RF generator solutions hold great promise for advancing cancer treatment technologies and improving patient outcomes.
