title: Practical thermal dosimetry.
abstract: A relatively simple means of thermal dose documentation is presented. It has the advantage of greatly condensing the vast amount of data collected during a course of hyperthermia treatments. The formulation incorporates both temporal and spatial temperature transients and is applicable when comparing hyperthermia devices and in quality control for prospective hyperthermia treatment protocols.
