Abstract

This paper presents numerical modelling of artificial hyperthermia treatment. Presented model takes into account not only the temperature distributions but also the thermal dose parameter. Obtaining of temperature distributions takes advantage of the generalized dual phase lag equation. For computer calculations the parallelized algorithm was prepared.
