Clinical trials have shown that hyperthermia (HT), ie an increase of tissue temperature to 39–
44° C, significantly enhance radiotherapy and chemotherapy effectiveness [1]. Driven by the …

Quality assurance (QA) guidelines are essential to provide uniform execution of clinical trials
with uniform quality hyperthermia treatments. This document outlines the requirements for …

Purpose: This article summarises the evolution of microwave array applicators for heating
large area chest wall disease as an adjuvant to external beam radiation, systemic …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether prediction of the 3D temperature profile
for superficial hyperthermia using constant blood perfusion model could be matched to one …

The feasibility of using hydrogels as a water bolus during hyperthermia treatment was
assessed. Three types of gels, high methoxyl (HM) pectin/alginate, xanthan/locust bean gum …

A transmit-array lens antenna is proposed with a view to optimally treat patients with tumors
deep inside their bodies. The proposed antenna produces a destructive interference of the …

Antennas are the building block of radiative hyperthermia (HT) applicators. This study
proposes a compact UWB antenna specifically tailored to meet the requirements for deep …

Simple Summary Mild hyperthermia is a technique that induces a local tumor temperature
increase up to 43.0° C. In this paper, we introduce three devices that could be used to apply …

The aim of this study was to investigate temperature and thermal dose distributions of
thermobrachytherapy surface applicators (TBSAs) developed for concurrent or sequential …
