Abstract
Ultrasound as a therapeutic modality includes the utilization of thermal effects for the treatment of a tumour. When it is used as a local modality, proper treatment requires detailed knowledge about the biology of the tumour and physiologic parameter such as perfusion and thermal conductivity. In the present paper, a theoretical thermal model of ultrasonic hyperthermia has been described. This model accounts for various acoustic and thermal phenomena implicated in heating.
