Cancer is one of the major health issues with increasing incidence worldwide. In spite of the existing conventional cancer treatment techniques, the cases of cancer diagnosis and death rates are rising year by year. Thus, ...
The high demand in effective and minimally invasive cancer treatments, namely thermal ablation, leads to the demand for real-time multi-dimensional thermometry to evaluate the treatment effectiveness, which can be also ...
Thermal ablation is achieved by delivering heat directly to tissue through a minimally
invasive applicator. The therapy requires a temperature control between 50–100 ◦C since the mortality of the tumor is directly connected ...

Thermal ablation (TA) is known as an alternative therapy to surgery to treat tumors. However, TA-based therapy requires advanced approaches in order to prevent causing damage to healthy tissue around the tumor and selectively ...
We propose a setup for multiplexed distributed optical fiber sensors capable of resolving temperature distribution in thermo-therapies, with a spatial resolution of 2.5 mm over multiple fibers interrogated simultaneously. ...
Abstract: Optical fiber ball resonators based on single-mode fibers in the infrared range are an
emerging technology for refractive index sensing and biosensing. These devices are easy and
rapid to fabricate using a ...
