The Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) has presented important new research at the Student Research Conference on Research in ElectroMagnetic Medical Applications (REMMA), held this year at Penzion Mítkov near Choceň (Pardubice Region, Czechia). This scientific event is organized by the Bio-electromagnetism (BioEM) Research Team at the CTU Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, dedicated entirely to the use of microwave radiation in medical treatment and diagnostics.
The Paper: “Temperature Monitoring During Superficial Hyperthermia in the Neck Area Using Microwave Imaging” by Barbora Smahelova, Jakub Kollar, Ondrej Fiser, and Jan Vrba.
The Innovation: To replace uncomfortable invasive probes, the study uses an advanced anatomical neck model to validate a non-invasive method for tracking tissue temperature in real time during hyperthermia cancer therapy.
Supported by the Interreg Central Europe, this research bridges advanced simulation with clinical practice, bringing safe microwave monitoring closer to real-world medical application.
