An automated dosimetry system for microwave and thermal exposure of biological samples in vitro.
A waveguide exposure system with automated sample temperature measurement is described. This system provides on-line determination of the temperature profile over time of biological samples in vitro. It allows automated computation of the specific absorption rate determined from heating/cooling curves, uses minimally-perturbing thermometry, is biocompatible and can be used for measurements of both microwave and conventional heating.
