An ultrasound cylindrical phased array for deep heating in the breast: theoretical design using heterogeneous modelsJ F Bakker
Department of Radiation Oncology, Unit Hyperthermia, Erasmus MC Daniel den Hoed Cancer Center, PO Box 5201, 3008AE, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Phys Med Biol 54:3201-15. 2009..It is demonstrated that acoustic and thermal heterogeneities do not disturb the SAR and temperature patterns...
Children and adults exposed to low-frequency magnetic fields at the ICNIRP reference levels: theoretical assessment of the induced electric fieldsJ F Bakker
Erasmus MC Daniel den Hoed Cancer Center, Department of Radiation Oncology, Section Hyperthermia, PO Box 5201, NL 3008 AE, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Phys Med Biol 57:1815-29. 2012..Therefore, we recommend extending the evaluation using a sufficient set of anatomies including other than standing postures to assess the worst-case exposure setting and correspondence to the basic restrictions...
Quality of life before intensive care unit admission is a predictor of survivalJose G M Hofhuis
Department of Intensive Care Medicine, Gelre Hospitals Location Lukas, Albert Schweitzerlaan, 7334 DZ Apeldoorn, The Netherlands
Crit Care 11:R78. 2007..The purpose of the present study was to examine whether health-related quality of life (HRQOL) before admission to the ICU can be used as a predictor of mortality...
Children and adults exposed to electromagnetic fields at the ICNIRP reference levels: theoretical assessment of the induced peak temperature increaseJ F Bakker
Erasmus MC Daniel den Hoed Cancer Center, Department of Radiation Oncology, Section Hyperthermia, PO Box 5201, NL 3008 AE, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Phys Med Biol 56:4967-89. 2011..However, we note that the exposure time should also be considered in future guidelines. Hence, we advise defining limits on T(incr, max) for specified durations of exposure...
Assessment of induced SAR in children exposed to electromagnetic plane waves between 10 MHz and 5.6 GHzJ F Bakker
Erasmus MC Daniel den Hoed Cancer Center, Department of Radiation Oncology, Section Hyperthermia, PO Box 5201, NL 3008 AE, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Phys Med Biol 55:3115-30. 2010..Our results are in good agreement with the literature, suggesting that the recommended ICNIRP reference levels may need fine tuning...
Design and test of a 434 MHz multi-channel amplifier system for targeted hyperthermia applicatorsJ F Bakker
Department of Radiation Oncology, Erasmus MC Daniel den Hoed Cancer Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Int J Hyperthermia 26:158-70. 2010..We therefore designed and tested a 433.92 MHz multi-channel amplifier system...
The clinical feasibility of deep hyperthermia treatment in the head and neck: new challenges for positioning and temperature measurementM M Paulides
Department of Radiation Oncology, Erasmus MC Daniel den Hoed Cancer Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Phys Med Biol 55:2465-80. 2010..Further, HTP proved a valuable tool in treatment optimization. Items to improve are (1) the transfer of HTP settings into the clinic and (2) the registration of the thermal dose, i.e. dosimetry...
Winner of the "New Investigator Award" at the European Society of Hyperthermia Oncology Meeting 2007. The HYPERcollar: a novel applicator for hyperthermia in the head and neckM M Paulides
Department of Radiation Oncology, Erasmus MC Daniel den Hoed Cancer Center, Section Hyperthermia, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Int J Hyperthermia 23:567-76. 2007..In an ongoing clinical feasibility study, we will investigate the possibilities of heating various target regions in the neck with this apparatus...
A literature survey on indicators for characterisation and optimisation of SAR distributions in deep hyperthermia, a plea for standardisationR A M Canters
Erasmus Medical Center, Radiation Oncology Department, Hyperthermia Unit, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Int J Hyperthermia 25:593-608. 2009..Ultimately, this should lead to a number of verified SAR indicators for characterization and optimization of a predicted SAR distribution...
Effects of waterbolus size, shape and configuration on the SAR distribution pattern of the Lucite cone applicatorM de Bruijne
Erasmus MC Daniel den Hoed Cancer Center, Department of Radiation Oncology, Hyperthermia Unit, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Int J Hyperthermia 22:15-28. 2006..5 cm, especially at the Lucite windows, and (ii) the height should not exceed 2 cm...
