Abstract :
Hyperthermia preliminary tests are always done on phantom models simulating human tissues. A simple RF phantom (10-150 MHz), made with gelatin water mixture was developed by our group for muscle simulation. We discuss the influence of the temperature variations on the dielectric properties. Effect of increasing the concentration of the gelatin powder is also presented.
