Distributed Sensing Network Enabled by High-Scattering MgO-Doped Optical Fibers for 3D Temperature Monitoring of Thermal Ablation in Liver Phantom. Sensors 2021, 21, 828. https://doi.org/ 10.3390/s21030828http://nur.nu.edu.kz/handle/123456789/5870Thermal 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 with the thermal dosimetry. Existing temperature monitoring techniques have limitations such as single-point monitoring, require costly equipment, and expose patients to X-ray radiation. Therefore, it is important to explore an alternative sensing solution, which can accurately monitor temperature over the whole ablated region. The work aims to propose a distributed fiber optic sensor as a potential candidate for this application due to the small size, high resolution, bio-compatibility, and temperature sensitivity of the optical fibers....enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United Statesdistributed sensingnanoparticles doped fibersoptical fiberstemperature monitoringthermal ablationArticle
