Whole Body Hyperthermia with a Microwave Regional Boost: Unexpected Toxicity in the Pig

Summary An animal model was used to investigate the potential for delivering a regional temperature boost using microwave energy after whole body hyperthermia had been induced in a pig using low density, radiant heat. Thermal profiles and an unexpected toxicity in the region of the microwave energy...

Zusammenfassung:	Summary An animal model was used to investigate the potential for delivering a regional temperature boost using microwave energy after whole body hyperthermia had been induced in a pig using low density, radiant heat. Thermal profiles and an unexpected toxicity in the region of the microwave energy deposition, which included the heart and liver, are reported.
