The potential for using combined electrical impedance and ultrasound measurements for the non-invasive determination of temperature in deep body tumours during mild hyperthermia

The effectiveness of mild hyperthermia in improving the outcome of radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment is well established for surface tumours (e.g. an average improvement of 20% in the 5 years survival rate using mild hyperthermia in conjunction with radiotherapy). However, to apply this techni...
