Abstract
The feasibility, and the biophysical and engineering concepts underlying the use of electromagnetic energy and ultrasound for production of deep, local hyperthermia are discussed. Focused ultrasound currently is the only modality that can be used for producing controllable levels of hyperthermia localized to deep seated tumors, non-invasively and safely. The ultrasonic focus needs to moved within the tissues around the periphery of the tumor to achieve uniform temperature distributions.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
