The microwave applicator used for tumor treatments consist of an open-ended pair of coaxial conductors, which was driven by a 915 MHz microwave generator, cooled by circulating water and sized to fit over the flank tumor of the mice. Tissue-applicator coupling gel was placed between the applicator and the tumor surface. Tumor temperatures and core temperature of the mice were measured throughout the treatment, with thermal history (CEM) calculated in real-time.
