A fast adaptive power scheme using Sentinel Convergence Value, based on temperature and convergence value for optimal hyperthermia treatment

[[abstract]] To elevate tissue temperature to therapeutic level fast with optimal power deposition during hyperthermia treatment (HT) is a key treatment processing step. Traditionally we have treated the tumor volume, without considering possible existing thermally significant vessels, using a simple 1st-order temperature-based adaptive power scheme to determine optimal power deposition distributions.[[sponsorship]]the 6th Asian Congress of Hyperthermic Oncology (ACHO) and the 31st Japanese Congress of Thermal Medicine (JCTM)[[journaltype]]國外[[conferencetype]]國際[[conferencedate]]20140904-20140906[[ispeerreviewed]]Y[[iscallforpapers]]Y[[conferencelocation]]Fukui, Japan[[countrycodes]]JP
