Purpose: Effective hyperthermia treatment planning requires an ability to predict temperatures quickly and accurately from an arbitrary distribution of power. Our purpose was to design such a fast executing computer code, MGARRAY, to compute steady-s

A general three-dimensional planning program has been developed for hyperthermia treatments for cancer.1 In this study, the program is used to analyze the three-dimensional temperature distributions generated by interstitial ferromagnetic implants. A

A Phase I study of interstitial thermoradiotherapy for high-grade supratentorial gliomas has been completed. The objective of this trial was to test the feasibility and toxicity of hyperthermia induced by ferromagnetic implants in the treatment of in

From August 1977 to August 1986, 72 patients with advanced primary or recurrent cancers were treated using interstitial thermoradiotherapy. Sites treated included the pelvis in 49 patients, the head and neck in 15, and other sites in six. Median tumo

An alternative form of ferromagnetic seed for thermal therapy has been developed following Matsuki, Murakami, and their colleagues (1985-1993). A nearly lossless ceramic ferrite core (FC) is surrounded by an electrically conductive sheath. The FC has

Purpose: The current sheet applicator (CSA) is a newly developed microwave hyperthermia device. Advantages over commercial microwave applicators include its small size and high ratio of heating area to physical aperture area. These physical character
