  • Apparatus and method for hyperthermia treatment
    Patent number: 4190053
    Abstract: The apparatus and method provides accurate temperature measurement and control of living tissue during hyperthermia treatment. The temperature is measured by a radiometer tuned to the frequency bandwidth of an energy source providing energy for heating living tissue. The radiometer measures essentially the radiant energy and thereby the temperature of the same volume of living tissue that is heated by the source during the hyperthermia treatment.
