Hyperthermia is one of the most promising cancer therapies but, to be effective, it needs a preliminary study phase of the area under treatment. For this reason, over the years, the research focused on the development of phantoms, substances or materials able to simulate biological tissues and useful to test the treatment, as well as calibrate the operative parameters and conditions. One of the most important characteristics that phantoms have to simulate is the dielectric permittivity. In this paper are reported some permittivity measurements performed for the realization of phantom for biomedical applications. Different mixtures of substances have been prepared and subjected to measurement with the purpose of realization of an aqueous phantom.

Abstract
Hyperthermia is one of the most promising cancer therapies but, to be effective, it needs a preliminary study phase of the area under treatment. For this reason, over the years, the research focused on the development of phantoms, substances or materials able to simulate biological tissues and useful to test the treatment, as well as calibrate the operative parameters and conditions. One of the most important characteristics that phantoms have to simulate is the dielectric permittivity. In this paper are reported some permittivity measurements performed for the realization of phantom for biomedical applications. Different mixtures of substances have been prepared and subjected to measurement with the purpose of realization of an aqueous phantom.
