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>Temperature distribution for the simulation when the applicator was inserted in a spherical tumor of 12.5 mm in radius surrounded by breast tissue. The power applied was 10 W; the maximum temperature reached, after 500 seconds, was 110°C.</div>
