Ultra-wideband Microwave Ablation Therapy (UMAT)

We propose an alternative microwave ablation therapy, Ultra-wideband Microwave Ablation Therapy (UMAT), that can potentially be used for the treatment of various cancers including liver, kidney, breast, lung, and bone. The technology relies on extremely small size ultra-wideband antennas that can deliver power to the tissue with more than 90% power transmission efficiency from beginning to the end of the ablation procedure. The resulting ablation technology is far superior to the existing microwave ablation therapies in terms of power usage, ablation time and zones. In order to validate the system, we provide ex vivo animal experiments.
