Local hyperthermia is a method where only tumor is heated, on the other hand healthy tissues are protected from overheating. It was proposed to use an array of eight independently phased dipoles operating on 100-150 MHz to focus the RF energy in deep-situated volume of 30-50 mm size. But the problem of non-invasive temperature measurement should to be solved for correct operation of the local thermoradiotherapy systems. Conventional invasive thermometry devices as thermocouples, thermistors or Bragg optical sensors can not be widely used because of serious risk of the cancer cells transport to healthy tissues. Radiothermometry or acoustic thermometry can not be used for tissues located deeper than 5-7 cm. As known electrodynamics characteristics of tissues depend on temperature. It was proposed to use this effect for active radiothermometry in local hyperthermia. Two opposite RF dipoles can be used as generator and receiver of pick-up signal. It was shown by simulations that such method can be used for thermometry of deep-situated tissues and have high resolution. Results of simulation will present in report.
