| Abstract: | In the process of ferromagnetic thermoseeds mediated magnetic induction hyperthermia, the temperature distribution in the tumor region is a key factor to determine the therapy effect. During the preoperative treatment planning, discrepancies of the treatment parameters may lead to the temperature distribution uncertainty within the target area. Inaccurate prediction of temperature distribution may induce the treatment failure; therefore, it would be significant to investigate the uncertainty of tissue temperature prediction caused by the disturbance of calculation parameters. In this paper, 3D temperature field and necrosis zone of tissues in ferromagnetic thermoseeds hyperthermia are simulated by the finite volume algorithm, and effects of parameter uncertainties on the temperature distribution are revealed. Results show that selecting appropriate magnetic field parameters for treatment is a priority to guarantee therapeutic effect. Thermoseed properties and blood perfusion rate are the obvious disturbing terms for temperature distribution, while the metabolic heat of bio-tissues can often be ignored within limits. Our investigation is of importance for guiding reasonable and optimal preoperative treatment planning. |
