  abstract = {An improved concept for ultrasonic hyperthermia of tumors is presented.
	This concept is based on past experience of a German government supported
	project [1], which ended in 1984. It offers a low cost alternative
	to common RF- and microwave methods for hyperthermia of tumors with
	volumes between 1 and 40 ml at treatment times between 30 and 60
	min. Our new version of the system considerably improves the temperature
	suppression in the healthy tissue around the target area and enables
	the adjustment of the beam width to the actual tumor size and the
	field geometry to the depth and shape of the tumor.
	
	
	The applicator can be used for moderate hyperthermia with tissue overheating
	up to 10 K or for ablation therapy with short high temperature pulses.
	Its central area is free for the integration of a commercial ultrasonic
	diagnostic sector scanner or a Doppler flow sensor in order to support
	the adjustment of the transducer and to monitor the whole area during
	the therapy.},
