Scientific Reports, 10(1). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-69384-22045-2322https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-69384-2https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-69384-2http://nur.nu.edu.kz/handle/123456789/5326The 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 assisted by the use of nanoparticles. We report the results of 20-nm gold and magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles-assisted laser ablation on a porcine liver phantom. The experimental set-up consisting of high-scattering nanoparticle-doped fibers was operated by means of a scattering–level multiplexing arrangement and interrogated via optical backscattered reflectometry, together with a solid-state laser diode operating at 980 nm. The multiplexed 2-dimensional fiber arrangement based on nanoparticle-doped fibers allowed an accurate superficial thermal map detected in real-time.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesResearch Subject Categories::TECHNOLOGYArticle
