Specific absorption rate measurement and energy-delivery device characterization using thermal phantom image analysis

摘要

SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE MEASUREMENT AND ENERGY DELIVERY DEVICE CHARACTERIZATION USING THERMAL PHANTOM AND IMAGE ANALYSIS s Abstract A system (900) for use in characterizing an energy applicator (1) includes a test fixture assembly (300). The test fixture assembly (300) includes an interior area (301) defined therein. The system (900) also includes a thermally-sensitive medium (331) disposed in the interior area (301) of the test fixture assembly (300). The thermally 1o sensitive medium (331) includes a cut-out portion (332) defining a void in the thermally sensitive medium (331). The cut-out portion (332) is configured to receive at least a portion of the energy applicator (1) therein. I ~ j 309 320a30 310 "A"l 32230 "A"7 302-, 302a -303
