Methods of Thermal Modeling and Their Impact on Interstitial Hyperthermia Treatment Planning

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Radiat Oncol))

Abstract

What is the purpose of writing another chapter, or book for that matter, on hyperthermia principles involving temperature models and treatment planning? The answer is that the field is constantly changing as new technologies appear and refinements of current technologies occur. Additional mathematical models for thermal modeling have been developed since prior books or chapters have been published, with many of these now en compassing three-dimensional (3-D) calculations. Also, practical 3-D noninvasive thermal imaging systems are being developed which will be a boon to temperature control during hyperthermia treatments.
