We are investigating the feasibility of TIMT as a salvage treatment for prostate cancer following failed Brachytherapy. Given the electrically and thermally conductive nature of brachytherapy seeds, concern existed as to their potential to scatter the microwave energy and increase the extent of the temperature distribution respectively, leading to areas of excessive or inadequate heating, which could result in damage to surrounding critical structures or inadequate dose to areas of the tumour. To characterize these effects, a helical antenna was inserted into phantom material with and without seeds, where specific absorption rate (SAR) and temperature distributions were measured using Infrared (IR) thermography and thermometry. Comparisons of the no-seed and seed cases revealed statistically insignificant differences in the SAR and temperature distribution measurements. These results suggest that TIMT as a salvage treatment for failed Brachytherapy is possible, as the seeds do not compromise the localization of heating to the target volume.
