In magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) nanoparticles behave as an internal source of heat in order to treat some type of cancer. In order not to have overheated zones, a prerequisite is the magnetic field uniformity. Some numerical tools are presented to design MFH device and treatment planning focusing on thermal uniformity in the treatment region.

Abstract
In magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) nanoparticles behave as an internal source of heat in order to treat some type of cancer. In order not to have overheated zones, a prerequisite is the magnetic field uniformity. Some numerical tools are presented to design MFH device and treatment planning focusing on thermal uniformity in the treatment region.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
