Absorbed Power Distributions from Coherent Microwave Arrays for Localized Hyperthermia

TL;DR: In this article, the absorbed power distributions in a homogeneous muscle-like tissue due to a planar coherent array consisting of 16 small direct contact applicators at 434 and 915 MHz are calculated, assuming various relative phases and amplitudes are compared with that of a single aperture source at the same frequency with the same overall dimensions.

Biophysics and Technology of Electromagnetic Hyperthermia

J. W. Hand
TL;DR: According to Licht (1965), the earliest medical applications of electric current were developed during the 1830s and 1840s and included the coagulation of blood in aneurysms and the destruction of fungoid growths.

Local microwave hyperthermia in treatment of advanced prostatic adenocarcinoma

TL;DR: Involution of the prostatic tumor in responders was accompanied by improvement of the general clinical and urological state and in two responders bone metastases, documented scintigraphically before therapy, disappeared.

Heat delivery and thermometry in clinical hyperthermia.

TL;DR: In general, non-invasive thermometry in clinical hyperthermia remains a distant goal, although developments in microwave radiometry may lead to systems with suitable spatial, temporal and temperature resolutions for use in superficial treatments.

Electromagnetic techniques in hyperthermia

TL;DR: This review covers the following topics: the biological basis for hyperthermia; power absorption in human tissues; computer modelling of EM hyperThermia; electromagnetic heating techniques; thermometry techniques.
