In this study, we have measured temperature distribution using infrared optical fibers during radiofrequency ablation
(RFA). Infrared radiations generated from the water around inserted electrode are transferred by silver halide optical fibers
and are measured by a thermopile sensor. Also, the output voltages of a thermopile sensor are compared with those of
the thermocouple recorder. It is expected that a noncontact temperature sensor using an infrared optical fiber can be
developed for the temperature monitoring during RFA treatments based on the results of this study.
