A new treatment used against brain tumours has been made more effective. In the approach a probe warms up the tissue to 60oC so that the cancer cells are destroyed. The problem is to monitor the process so that the microwaves are administered for long enough destroying all and only cancer cells as far as possible. A new real time imaging method makes now this monitoring possible.
