[Superficial microwaves hyperthermia tumoral temperature distribution by using finite element analysis].
The main aim of this study is to present a virtual method for tumor temperature distribution by using finite element analysis.


METHODS
First step is geometrical synthesis that means tumor and neighbor structures three-dimensional reconstruction using CT sections; the second represent temperature and material synthesis: temperature values application and tissues density, thermal conductivity, specific heat values application, then finite element analysis.


RESULTS
Finite element analysis indicate tumor temperature distribution with maximum and minimum values as a result of microwave hyperthermia treatment.
