- Numerical Modeling for Simulation and Treatment Planning of Thermal Therapy

Figure 7.1 shows how hyperthermia treatment planning (HTP) can be embedded in the clinical ow. e following steps have to be performed during hyperthermia treatment planning (see Figure 7.2):

•  Segmentation of medical images to generate a patient model. In contrast to radiotherapy, all tissues have to be segmented in accordance with their tissue type in order to select the correct properties (electrical and physiological).
