Abstract :
The paper deals with Magnetic NanoParticle Hyperthermia and presents some results of an extensive numerical study aiming at assessing the effectiveness of a recently proposed criterion for the optimal choice of the magnetic field and nanoparticle features, with reference to the clinically relevant case of brain tumors and exploiting 3D realistic models of human head.
