Abstract
In this chapter current modeling methods in respect of interstitial hyperthermia techniques are examined. Computational techniques for electromagnetic fields and thermal distributions are described briefly. Proposals are put forward for more accurate modeling techniques, and different hyperthermia techniques are compared.
