Cancer is one of the most frequent causes of death in
Europe, only exceeded by different forms of cardiac
insufficiency and apoplectic stroke with an
increasing tendency. This is why there is the need to
find alternative or complementary ways to treat this
disease. A very promising way of treating malignant
tumours is hyperthermia. The book gives a detailed
overview about hyperthermia. The introduction into
the history is followed by listing different forms of
hyperthermia. Different ways to generate heat are
introduced subsequently. After a detailed
introduction into ultrasound principles there is an
investigation in modelling transducer arrays to get
desired ultrasonic fields. A way to simulate arrays
is elucidated, this involves the introduction of
UltraSim, a software add-on for Matlab. The
simulation is verified with an existing device. The
work concludes with an assessment of the findings.
The book is meant for clinicians and scientist who
have interest in hyperthermia induced by ultrasound
but also for interested patients looking for a better
understanding of history, effectiveness and the
different types of hyperthermia.
