Abstract
Quality assurance (QA) of hyperthermia applicators ensures their accurate functionality, thereby guaranteeing that the delivered dose aligns with the planned dose. According to ESHO guidelines, QA should be fast, reliable and accurate. However current SAR based QA methods are either time-consuming (e.g., IR camera, thermistor based) or both expensive and limited to compatible applicators (e.g., MRT). E-field sensing sheets, with their 2D array of sensors, enable fast QA. In this study, we aim to assess the effect of Schottky diode sheets on the E-field distribution through both simulations and measurements.
