Abstract
The advantages and limitations of microwave heating in clinical thermotherapy are reviewed on the basis of the clinical experiences of various investigators who used microwave-induced hyperthermia. Also discussed are the clinical engineering system requirements necessary for conducting controlled clinical trials, as well as appropriate thermal treatment planning. Lastly, we present the future prospects for complex antennas and treatment control systems.
