Hyperthermia article: Journal of Applied Physics D

RCL has been working on a reliable, reproducible and accurate characterisation technique to determine the specific absorption rate (SAR) and intrinsic loss parameter (ILP) without the need for a adiabatic hyperthermia system. The paper highlights the importance for following a standardised method and demonstrates though a representative study of the literature that there exists an under/over estimation of SAR of 5% or more in over 70% of cases. The paper is due for online publication in November 2014. Excel and MATLAB scripts to calculate SAR and ILP will also be available for download from the resources page.
