Abstract
This project will focus on the final tuning and debugging of 3-dimensional electromagnetic software that was initially developed in the Microwave laboratory at CSUS. The application of the software in clinical hyperthermia, which involves the treatment of tumors in the human or animal body by focused microwave radiation. The software prepares the treatment planning for each individual patient by taking the patient data, in this case, the CT scan data. This data in turn is used to plan the precise focusing of the microwave beam. The software has been essentially developed however, there are some key features still lacking such as the facility to access a multi-patient database, and transfer of multi-file CT scan files to the main MATLAB program. This project has focused on making the multi-patient database functional, and testing of the software to validate its practicality. Final testing was performed on the software, and it is in a ready shape for use in hospital therapy systems.
