Abstract
Multiple microwave applicators are configured to optimize the treatment in a hyperthermia system. Individual applicators are positioned for incrementally varying the treatment field size by the addition or subtraction of individual applicators. A fan beam geometric configuration may be utilized with individual applicators for producing a concave electric field for focusing the electromagnetic energy at a particular region of the body. The microwave applicator system may be positioned either in direct or indirect contact with a treatment area by positioning individual applicators to conform to the contours of the surface treatment area. The applicators may be combined to provide a continuing electromagnetic field pattern.
