Computational FEM Model,<i> Phantom</i> and<i> Ex Vivo</i> Swine Breast Validation of an Optimized Double-Slot Microcoaxial Antenna Designed for Minimally Invasive Breast Tumor Ablation: Theoretical and Experimental Comparison of Temperature, Size of Lesion, and SWR, Preliminary Data

<div>Setup for the experimental validation. A 2.45 GHz microwave was generated and amplified to the desired power level; then it was connected to the antenna through a stub. Sensors were used to measure temperature fiber optic.</div>
