Abstract
To treat and diagnose tissue, a radiating antenna system is positioned within the tissue to radiate electromagnetic energy into a portion of the tissue desired to be heated, and a plurality of antenna elements are positioned for receiving and/or reflecting the radiated electromagnetic energy from the radiating antenna system. In certain applications, one or more of the antennas has an interior volume for receiving a heat exchange fluid to change the temperature of the tissue proximal to the receiving element.
