Computational modeling in Hyperthermia
Over the last two decades, computational modeling has gained a prominent role in hyperthermia research and its role for guiding treatments is expanding. Computational modelling serves e.g., to design new applicators, in silico testing of novel treatment approaches, providing insight in treatment safety. Hyperthermia treatment modelling and optimization (HTM&O), also known as hyperthermia treatment planning (HTP), is the process in which the multidisciplinary hyperthermia team defines the optimal treatment plan for a specific cancer patient using the available hyperthermia treatment resources. HTM&O includes computational modeling approaches for pre-treatment HTP and online treatment guidance. A total of 12 cutting edge papers is included in this Special Collection.
