Summary
| Description |
English: Patient is undergoing local hyperthermia treatment for head and neck cancer.
Pictured ultrasound machine is made by LabThermic Technologies. This machine works well on soft tissue and its penetration depth is about 8 cm. It works with two ultrasound frequencies: 1 MHz for deeper penetration (about 8 cm), and 3.4 MHz (up to 4 cm). The ultrasound vibration is transmitted to the tissue through a water bolus (a silicone bag) which allows it to raise the temperature in the tumor. The patient on the picture is being treated for head and neck cancer. The hyperthermia technician on the picture is adjusting the arm of the machine to aim the ultrasound vibrations in the bolus towards the tumor. |
