[Temperature distribution in normal and tumor tissues of animals subjected to local SHF-hyperthermia]

Temperature gradients are studied in normal and tumour tissues of animals under different duration of treatment (6-30 min) with microwave field which has a frequency of 460 MHz and 40 W power range. It is shown that in animal muscles and tumours an increase in the temperature is directly dependent on the time of microwave heating, the maximum temperatures being obtained in the depth of tissues, while there is no overheating in subcutaneous fatty tissues.
