Abstract
In this work, a variety of polymer based jelly phantoms suitable for the hyperthermia operations to human organs was synthesized in order to confirm the possibility of auxiliary cancer therapy. Specifically, using an appropriate material composition including polyethylene, Jelly phantoms for brain was prepared and characterized their electrical properties suitable for the monitoring the effect of electromagnetic wave from code division multiple access (CDMA) and personal communication service (PCS) on the human body. In the future, after injection of ferromagnetic nanoparticle into the jelly phantoms, new approach to propose the cancer therapy can be anticipated by monitoring the degree of temperature rise in human body using the photograph of Infrared camera.
