Abstract

Uncertainties in biological tissue properties are weighed in the case of a hyperthermia problem. Statistic methods, experimental design and kriging technique, and stochastic methods, spectral and collocation approaches, are applied to analyze the impact of these uncertainties on the distribution of the electromagnetic power absorbed inside the body of a patient. The sensitivity and uncertainty analyses made with the different methods show that experimental designs are not suitable in this kind of problem and that the spectral stochastic method is the most efficient method only when using an adaptative algorithm.
