Zusammenfassung:A site-specific ultrasound hyperthermia system has been designed for the treatment of intact breast. The system incorporates both therapeutic and imaging capabilities utilizing a cylindrical array applicator which surrounds the breast with the patient in a prone position. It is dedicated to optimizing the synergistic effect between thermal therapy and radiation in the treatment of early stage breast disease in patients with an extensive intraductal component of tumor
