Zusammenfassung:A microwave ablation probe (400), comprising: an applicator (402) arranged to apply microwave radiation to heat surrounding tissue; and a feeding cable (404) arranged to supply electromagnetic energy to the applicator (402), wherein the feeding cable (404) is formed from an inner conductor (412) and an outer conductor (414), and wherein the applicator (402) comprises: an antenna portion (402a) of the inner conductor (412), the antenna portion (402a) extending distally from a distal end of the outer conductor (414); and an overlapping portion (402b) of the inner conductor (412) at least partly overlapping the antenna portion (402a) along the length of the antenna portion (402a) of the inner conductor (412) and extending along a helical path around the antenna portion (402) of the inner conductor (412).
