Abstract :
Both a novel hyperthermia treatment planning tool and a new head&neck applicator have been developed to overcome limitations of existing approaches. The treatment planning tool is optimized for high quality, accurate, realistic simulations of highly detailed models. The applicator offers superior steerability and online control.
