摘要：

Studies involving the clinical use of hyperthermia either alone or in conjunction with radiation have been implemented across the country at several institutions. Many of these protocols suggest the use of microwaves as a heating modality with a very specific temperature range. A microwave heating system and an associated thermometry system is described that will meet the needs of these protocols. This equipment was used in the treatments of 42 patients in the 1978 calendar year. © 1979.
