摘要
The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method has been used to simulate hyperthermia treatment using the Sigma-60 applicator of the BSD-2000 Hyperthermia System. In order to use this simulation capability in treatment planning, a detailed anatomical representation of the patient must be created. This paper describes a system developed to create such models from the CT scans of the patients and then display the results of the simulation. About a day and a half is required to create a patient model.
