Applied potential tomography (APT) for noninvasive thermal imaging during hyperthermia treatment

An impedance imaging method is described for display of induced thermal gradients during hyperthermia treatment. The results of both in vitro and in vivo experiments are described, indicating the potential of APT to provide an image of the heated volume in tissue.
