Current status of application and research of thermal dosimetry in tumor hyperthermia / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

As a quantitative evaluation approach for tumor hyperthermia,thermal dosimetry is a critieat part of the treatment planning system and plays a key role in governing the relationships between thermal exposure(temperature and time of exposure)and thermal damage.Its principal theories,parameters as well as thermal dosimetry models are potentially to accurately describe the tumor hyperthermia effectiveness and therefore greatly improve the clinical experience and prescription for tumor hyperthermia.The deep study and wide clinical application of thermal dosimetry in hyperthermia will further standardize tumor hyperthermia and benefit the patients more.
