ADAPT2HEAT: TREATMENT PLANNING-ASSISTED LOCOREGIONAL HYPERTHERMIA BY ON-LINE VISUALIZATION, OPTIMIZATION AND RE-OPTIMIZATION OF SAR AND TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTIONS

Adapt2Heat: treatment planning-assisted locoregional hyperthermia by on-line visualization, optimization and re-optimization of SAR and temperature distributions

Background Hyperthermia treatment planning is increasingly used in clinical applications and recommended in quality assurance guidelines.Assistance in phase-amplitude steering during treatment requires dedicated software for on-line visualization of SAR/temperature distributions and fast re-optimization in response to hot spots.As such software too

Access to side branches with a sharply angulated origin: usefulness of a specific wire for chronic occlusions

Abstract Introduction and objectives: Accessing sharply angulated side branches using intracoronary guidewires sometimes poses great challenges, and even after using its distal end for accessing purposes, it usually prolapses inside the main vessel.We hereby present an easy way to perform these procedures using a specific guidewire for the manageme
