Compute the lateral heat generated in radiosurgery given the following parameters: a) Electrode size = 0.1 inch b) Electrode contact time with the tissue = 10 sec. c) Intensity = 100 W d) Waveform = partially rectified

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Lateral heat generated = (time which electrode contacts tissue) x (Intensity) x (frequencyof unit) x (electrode size) x (Waveform of radio signal)

Lateral heat generated = 10 (s) x 100 (Watt) x 4 (MHz) x 0.1 (inch)

   = 10 x 100 x 4 x 106 x 0.1 x 2.54 x 10-2 = 1.016 x 107 joule
