Application of the multigrid method in determination of SAR distribution in hyperthermia treatment of gyneacological cancers

In this paper the method for the 3D computer simulation of SAR distribution during hyperthermia treatment of cervical cancers is presented. A gynealogical applicator for brachytherapy treatment acts as a hyperthermia intracavitar applicator. The numerical analysis is carried out by means of a techni...

Zusammenfassung:In this paper the method for the 3D computer simulation of SAR distribution during hyperthermia treatment of cervical cancers is presented. A gynealogical applicator for brachytherapy treatment acts as a hyperthermia intracavitar applicator. The numerical analysis is carried out by means of a technique incorporating adaptive grid refinement and multilevel relaxations.
