Abstract
Investigations have been carried out to determine the limitations of currently used technology in the field of hyperthermia cancer treatment. A novel hyperthermia treatment planning tool and a new head&neck applicator have been developed. The treatment planning tool is optimized for high quality, accurate, realistic simulations of highly detailed models. The applicator offers superior steerability and online control.
