Abstract
The accuracy of tissue heating in a body when using a phased array hyperthermia system can be improved by using, in conjunction with the hyperthermia system, a program for predicting heating patterns within the tissue based upon a selected E-field value at each of the antenna energy feedpoints. The hyperthermia system includes circuitry necessary to provide information for calculating the complete EM field at each of the antenna feedpoints during treatment, and such calculated actual feedpoint EM fields are feed to the program to be used in place of the otherwise program generated e-fields in predicting the heating pattern produced by the hyperthermia system during treatment. Further initial operating parameters of the hyperthermia system can be set to produce calculated actual EM fields at the antenna feedpoints which approximate the E-field values used by the program in pretreatment optimizing of the heating pattern.
