Abstract

This paper describes a new heating control method of a resonant cavity applicator with a dielectric bolus for a 3-D anatomical human head model. We have already proposed the resonant cavity applicator for deep seated brain tumors hyperthermia treatments. In this paper, first, the method using dielectric bolus was described. Second, the 3-D anatomical human head model which was reconstructed from 2-D MRI and X-ray CT images was presented. Finally, from the result of temperature distributions with blood flow rate, it was found that the proposed method was useful for effective hyperthermia treatment.
