Local hyperthermia, Cancer Therapy, B-Mode Ultrasound,Abstract
Local hyperthermia treatment for cáncer therapy has shown increasing interest in conjunction to the other existence treatment as such chemotherapy, clinical surgery and radiation. B-Mode ultrasound have shown great potential for local hyperthermia, as it is nonionizing, convenient, and has relatively simple signal processing and it offers good spatial resolution.The aim of this study is to compare the most optimum B-Mode ultrasound parameters in normal and pathological tissue. The subjects were dissected and exposed to hyperthermia at 37◦C, 40◦C, 45◦C, 50◦C and 55◦C. Result shows, for mean grey scale in normal and pathological tissue, 37◦C and 40◦C was optimum temperature with correspond values of 188.08 and 199.26 meanwhile for pixel deviation analysis, at 45◦C and 55◦C the best temperature is observed in both tissue with pixel deviation of 57.27 and 57.25. Additionally, it is proven with accuracy of testing to validation data using Artificial Neural Network, ANN, about 88.89% and 81.25% was achieved.
