INTRACORPOREAL PROBE COMPRISING AN INTERSTITIAL TEMPERATURE MEASURING DEVICE AND THERAPEUTIC TREATMENT APPARATUS INCLUDING APPLICATION

摘要

The invention concerns an intracorporeal catheter comprising a device (11) emitting thermal radiation, and at least a device (14) measuring interstitial temperature, said catheter (10) comprising means guiding (16) said device measuring interstitial temperature (14). The invention is characterised in that, in the output zone of the device measuring interstitial temperature, part of the guide means forms a helical winding to guide the temperature sensor (14) following a predetermined angle ( alpha ) resulting in a predetermined position of the temperature sensor (14) end axial and radial relative to the intracorporeal catheter. The invention enables the in situ measurement of temperature in the organ tissues to be treated, for example the prostrate.
