1、 The impact of medical microwave electromagnetic interference on human temperature monitoring
Medical microwave electromagnetic interference may have various impacts on traditional human temperature monitoring methods.
Primeiramente, from the perspective of interference sources, there are numerous devices in the medical environment that generate microwave electromagnetic interference, such as microwave therapy devices. When these devices work, they generate a certain intensity of microwave electromagnetic field. For traditional electronic temperature monitoring devices, such as thermometers based on thermocouple or thermistor principles, their operation relies on the conduction and conversion of electronic signals. Under microwave electromagnetic interference, this electronic signal may be interfered with. Especificamente, it manifests as signal distortion or the superposition of noise, which is like mixing noisy background sound into a quiet sound signal, making it difficult to accurately read the originally clear temperature signal.
In terms of the impact on monitoring accuracy, taking medical equipment such as electrocardiographs and electroencephalographs that require precise signals as an example, if subjected to microwave electromagnetic interference, a distortion similar to certain lesions may be superimposed on the detection results such as waveforms, graphics, and images, causing misdiagnosis. Temperature monitoring equipment may misjudge temperature values when subjected to similar interference, affecting the correct assessment of the patient’s temperature status. Além disso, in a medical environment, if multiple devices are used simultaneously, such as microwave equipment operating in conjunction with other electronic monitoring devices, interference may become more complex and severe, thereby affecting the accuracy and reliability of human temperature monitoring. Além disso, microwave electromagnetic interference may also affect the stability of monitoring equipment, leading to equipment malfunctions or abnormal operation, making temperature monitoring unable to proceed normally.
2、 Principle of Fluorescent Fiber Optic Monitoring Human Temperature
Fluorescent fiber optic monitoring of human temperature is mainly based on the response characteristics of fluorescent materials to temperature.
Fluorescent materials have a special energy level structure that transitions from the ground state to the excited state when exposed to appropriate excitation light. Electrons in the excited state are unstable and will return to the ground state through radiative transitions and emit fluorescence. And the characteristics of this fluorescence (como intensidade, vida, etc.) are related to temperature. Quando a temperatura muda, the energy level structure inside the fluorescent material will undergo certain changes, which will affect the emission process of fluorescence. Por exemplo, à medida que a temperatura aumenta, the intensity of fluorescence may weaken or the fluorescence lifetime may change.
In a fluorescent sistema de monitoramento de temperatura de fibra óptica, there is usually an excitation light source that emits light of a specific wavelength, which is transmitted through the fiber optic to the probe site containing fluorescent material. This probe can be placed near the body parts that require temperature monitoring. The fluorescence signal generated when the fluorescent material is excited will be transmitted back to the detector through the optical fiber. The detector will measure the relevant characteristics of fluorescence, such as intensity or lifetime, and then infer the temperature of the environment (nesse caso, the human body) based on the pre established fluorescence characteristic temperature relationship curve. This temperature monitoring method based on fluorescent optical fibers has unique advantages in medical environments with electromagnetic interference due to the electromagnetic insulation properties of the fibers themselves. Além disso, a perda de sinais de transmissão de fibra óptica é baixa, permitindo transmissão de longa distância. Os componentes optoeletrônicos do sensor também podem ser colocados longe do local de medição de temperatura para evitar fatores de interferência ambiental severos. Além disso, o método de detecção da tecnologia de medição de temperatura de fibra óptica de fluorescência geralmente usa fibra óptica de quartzo. Na medição da temperatura de radiação, a fibra óptica substitui o caminho óptico de transmissão espacial dos termômetros convencionais, fazendo com que os fatores de interferência, como poeira, névoa, e vapor de água têm pouco impacto nos resultados da medição. Além disso, fibra óptica tem pequena massa, seção transversal pequena, e transmissão dobrável, que pode medir a temperatura de espaços de trabalho invisíveis e facilitar a instalação e uso em condições especiais de trabalho.
3、 Caso de aplicação de monitoramento de temperatura corporal humana por fibra óptica fluorescente na área médica
（1） Monitoramento de temperatura na hipertermia tumoral
Durante a hipertermia tumoral, é necessário um controle preciso da temperatura do tecido tumoral. Por exemplo, hipertermia por microondas ou hipertermia por radiofrequência visam aquecer o tumor a uma faixa de temperatura terapêutica eficaz, evitando danos excessivos aos tecidos normais circundantes. Se a temperatura do tumor estiver abaixo da temperatura do tratamento, pode promover a propagação do tecido tumoral; Se a temperatura do tumor estiver muito alta, pode danificar o tecido humano normal.
Sensores de temperatura de fibra óptica fluorescentes desempenham um papel importante neste processo. A sonda não é condutora, and the probe made of glass and polymer is fully suitable for applications with strong magnetic fields, microwaves, and radio frequency currents, which can avoid high voltage applied to the patient causing electric shock and electromagnetic interference on measurement data. Fluorescent fiber optic sensors can monitor the temperature changes of tumor tissue in real time and accurately. Doctors can adjust the output power and other parameters of thermal therapy equipment in a timely manner based on the monitored temperature data, ensuring the effectiveness and safety of thermal therapy.

4、 How to solve the problem of fluorescence fiber monitoring human temperature under medical microwave electromagnetic interference
（1） Utilizing the inherent characteristics of fluorescent optical fibers
Advantages of electromagnetic insulation
The material and structural characteristics of fluorescent optical fibers determine their inherent electromagnetic insulation properties. In the medical microwave electromagnetic interference environment, this characteristic enables optical fibers to transmit temperature related optical signals without being affected by electromagnetic interference like traditional metal wires transmit electronic signals. Por exemplo, in the vicinity of microwave thermal therapy equipment, traditional electronic temperature sensors may generate induced currents due to microwave electromagnetic fields, resulting in inaccurate temperature measurement results, while fluorescent fiber optic sensors can work normally, accurately transmit fluorescent signals, and thus achieve precise monitoring of human body temperature.
Probe Material and Design
The probe of the sensor de temperatura de fibra óptica fluorescente is made of non-conductive materials such as glass and polymer. These materials do not generate induced currents in microwave environments, avoiding the impact of electromagnetic interference on temperature measurement accuracy caused by the probe itself. Além disso, the design of the probe can be optimized according to different monitoring requirements, such as the size can be made very small (up to 0.5mm at the minimum), suitable for contact type surface or in vivo temperature measurement. When monitoring human body temperature, it can more accurately locate the parts that need to be measured, while reducing invasive effects on the human body.
（2） Adopting advanced demodulation technology
Based on fluorescence intensity ratio technology
Fiber optic temperature sensors based on fluorescence intensity ratio technology can improve anti-interference performance. This technology determines temperature by measuring the ratio of different fluorescence intensities, and is less sensitive to environmental interference (including medical microwave electromagnetic interference) compared to simply measuring fluorescence intensity. Por exemplo, in the presence of microwave interference, even if the absolute value of fluorescence intensity fluctuates due to interference, the intensity ratio may still remain relatively stable, accurately reflecting the temperature value. Através deste método, é possível monitorar de forma mais confiável a temperatura do corpo humano em ambientes eletromagnéticos médicos complexos.
（3） Integração e otimização do sistema
Controle de circuito fechado de temperatura e potência
No processo de hipertermia médica por microondas, um sistema de medição de temperatura de fibra fluorescente é usado para detectar as informações de temperatura da lesão em tempo real, e então um computador industrial é usado para controlar a potência de saída do sistema de saída de microondas com base nas informações de temperatura, forming a closed-loop control of temperature and output power. Isto pode garantir a precisão do monitoramento da temperatura e manter a temperatura da terapia térmica dentro de uma faixa apropriada na presença de interferência eletromagnética de micro-ondas.. Por um lado, garante o efeito da terapia térmica, e por outro lado, it avoids the problem of inaccurate temperature measurement caused by unstable microwave power or electromagnetic interference.
Multi channel monitoring and centralized display
The multi-channel fluorescent fiber temperature monitoring system can simultaneously monitor the temperature of multiple parts of the human body. And it can display these monitoring data centrally, making it convenient for medical staff to comprehensively and timely understand the patient’s temperature status. When facing microwave electromagnetic interference in medical environments, multi-channel systems can improve the reliability of temperature monitoring through comprehensive analysis and comparison of data. Por exemplo, if the data of a certain channel is disturbed and abnormal, the data of other channels can be used as a reference to assist in determining the true temperature situation.

This high-precision measurement is crucial in medical applications such as tumor hyperthermia that require extremely strict temperature requirements. During microwave hyperthermia, temperature monitoring accurate to 0.02 ℃ can more precisely control the heating degree of tumor tissue, avoid damage to surrounding normal tissue, and improve the effectiveness of tumor treatment.
Better stability and reliability
New materials and processes have been applied to the manufacturing of fluorescent fiber temperature sensors, improving the stability and reliability of the sensors under medical microwave electromagnetic interference. Por exemplo, special packaging techniques are used to protect fluorescent materials and optical fibers from damage or performance degradation during long-term use in microwave environments. Ao mesmo tempo, em termos de design do sensor, a estrutura da sonda e o método de conexão de fibra óptica foram otimizados para reduzir erros de medição causados por interferência externa (incluindo interferência eletromagnética de microondas), permitindo que o sensor funcione de forma estável e confiável por um longo tempo, e monitorar continuamente e com precisão a temperatura do corpo humano.

Ao mesmo tempo, some systems may also integrate communication functions with other medical devices (such as microwave thermal therapy equipment) to achieve more intelligent collaborative work.
Intelligent development
With the development of artificial intelligence and big data technology, fluorescent fiber temperature monitoring systems are also moving towards intelligence. Under medical microwave electromagnetic interference, intelligent systems can automatically identify and eliminate abnormal data caused by interference by learning and analyzing a large amount of temperature data. Por exemplo, using machine learning algorithms, the system can determine whether the currently monitored temperature data is affected by microwave electromagnetic interference based on historical data and normal temperature change patterns. Se for assim, corresponding corrections or reminders can be made to medical staff. Além disso, intelligent systems can automatically adjust temperature monitoring parameters and strategies based on individual differences and treatment needs of patients, improving the accuracy and effectiveness of temperature monitoring.
