Figure 1.
Chest wall recurrence from breast cancer and development of the grid electrode. (A) An example of a breast cancer patients who underwent repetitive ECT cycles to treat cutaneous metastases. The extension of electrode-induced skin marks highlights the extension of the treatment field and the need for more effective pulse delivery. (B) Sketch of the device, (C) resulting electric field lines of a grid electrode and (D) electric field color map.
Figure 2.
Prototypes of the flexible electrode: (A) device with diameter 8 cm with hexagonal electrode disposition, (B) removable needles inserted in electrical connection and (C) square device 15 × 15 cm with hexagonal arrangement of conductive guides highlighted.
Figure 3.
(A) Connection box to interface the flexible electrode to the voltage pulse generator. (B) Schema of the arrangement of clamps and (C) examples of connections.
Figure 4.
Potato tuber after 24 h preserved at room temperature: (A) no voltage pulses (control) and (B) treated with voltage pulses.
Figure 5.
(A) Phantom used to test the square flexible electrode with side 15 cm. (B) Manual insertion of needles, (C) device ready for pulse application and (D) connection of the electrode with the connection box.
Figure 6.
(A) Potato tuber surface appears dark after 24 h from voltage pulse application and (B) effect of voltage pulses inside the potato.
Figure 7.
(A) Potato phantom surface appears dark after 24 h from voltage pulse application and (B) effect of voltage pulses inside the potato.
