Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to systems and techniques for finite element analysis of alternating electric fields such as tumor treating fields. A system may be configured to receive medical data of the patient, generate segmented medical data by performing segmentation using the medical data of the patient, generate a model for a transducer array configuration and the generated segmented medical data, wherein the transducer array configuration is configured to produce alternating electric fields, and determine one or more metrics of the alternating electric fields for each of the one or more transducer array configurations. The system may further compare the metrics to reference values and/or metrics of another transducer array configuration and/or determine and/or recommend a transducer array configuration based on the metrics.

Abstract: System and methods for determining placement of a transducer array relative to a subject's head, which may be used in treating cancer in the subject, are provided. These techniques may include constructing, based on one or more images, a representation of the subject's head that includes information for a plurality of structures including one or more tumors positioned within the subject's brain. The representation of the subject's head may be used to calculate electric field propagation for one or more arrangements of a transducer array on a surface of the subject's head. These techniques may further include determining one or more rate of energy absorption distributions and/or one or more electric field distributions using the calculated electric field propagation for multiple arrangements of the transducer array. A rate of energy absorption distribution may indicate a rate of energy absorbed at the one or more tumors.
