Archivio Istituzionale della RicercaThe fundamental aim of an oncological hyperthermia treatment consists in heating the tumour region to a temperature of about 42/43 °C, while keeping the heat in the surrounding healthy tissues in a tolerable range. With the aid of the COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software and the LiveLink™ for MATLAB® module, we reproduced a typical microwave applicator specifically designed for targeted heating of deep-seated head and neck (H&N) tumours, and we analyze how a SAR-based field optimization on the target volume could be implemented for different models of the neck region.

Abstract
The fundamental aim of an oncological hyperthermia treatment consists in heating the tumour region to a temperature of about 42/43 °C, while keeping the heat in the surrounding healthy tissues in a tolerable range. With the aid of the COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software and the LiveLink™ for MATLAB® module, we reproduced a typical microwave applicator specifically designed for targeted heating of deep-seated head and neck (H&N) tumours, and we analyze how a SAR-based field optimization on the target volume could be implemented for different models of the neck region.
