Predictive value of SAR based quality indicators for head and neck hyperthermia treatment quality

Purpose: Hyperthermia treatment quality determines treatment effectiveness as shown by the clinically derived thermal-dose effect relations. SAR based optimization factors are used as possible surrogate for temperature, since they are not affected by thermal tissue properties uncertainty and variati...
