Abstract
Hyperthermia is effective treatment modality when it combine with the radiotherapy treatment. It is important to verify the temperature distribution of (patient's) body for the safety and effective treatment during raising the temperature. In this study, we raised the temperature in agar phantom using radio frequency (RF) Hyperthermia and protocol that manufacture recommend. Temperature distribution measured 5 section of 5 cm thickness with agar phantom. When the temperature was raised according to the increase energy. Temperature distribution was elevated at similar domain regardless of energy. The temperature tend to be increased at up side then bottom side and also increase when A large electrode was used than small one.
