Future Developments in Respect of Thermal Modeling, Treatment Planning, and Treatment Control for Interstitial Hyperthermia

  • Chapter
Interstitial and Intracavitary Thermoradiotherapy

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Radiat Oncol))

Abstract

Progress in the clinical use of hyperthermia depends fundamentally on knowledge of the actual three-dimensional (3-D) temperature/thermal dose distributions in the heated tissues. Invasive thermometry alone cannot provide the high spatial resolution (<0.5 cm) necessary to determine the steep thermal gradients in vascularized tissues, especially around the larger vessels (Lagendijk 1990; Roemer 1990a). Recently great progress has been made in computing the 3-D temperature distribution (Mooibroek and Lagendijk 1991). However, the development of accurate 3-D hyperthermia treatment planning systems is still hindered by the complexity of tissue blood flow and the lack of information on normal and pathological vessel network properties of individual patients (Lagendijk 1990; Roemer 1990a).
