Medical imaging

"e;Internal"e; hyperthermia is a type of thermotherapy by which heat is sup- plied to tumor tissue in situ.

The enormous potential that hyperthermia has for benefiting patients with cancer is impressively indicated by biological studies, both in vitro and in vivo, and by comparative clinical studies whenever the heat has been appro- priate to the size of the tumor.

The development of equipment capable of producing and monitoring safe, effective and predictable hyperthermia treatments represents a major challenge.
