Abstract

A comparison of the results of the pretreatment planning software for the BSD-2000 hyperthermia system and measurements in an anthropomorphic phantom is shown. The planning system gives information of the locations of regions with relative high and low temperature values. The conversion into absolute temperatures is associated with failures which can not be neglected in clinical practice.

Zusammenfassung

Es wird ein Vergleich zwischen den Ergebnissen der Pretreatment Software für das BSD-2000 Hyperthermiesystem und Messungen an einem anthropomorphen Phantom vorgestellt. Das Planungssystem liefert brauchbare Informationen über die Lage von relativ warmen und relativ kalten Gebieten. Die von der Software durchgeführte Zuordnung von absoluten Temperaturen ist allerdings mit Fehlern behaftet, die in der klinischen Routine keinesfalls vernachlässigt werden können.
