Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer Using Thermal Therapies - Minimal and Non-Invasive Techniques

Cancer is considered a leading cause of death worldwide. Therefore, in recent years, not only new diagnosis methods but also new treatments have been developed. This book discusses new trends such as artificial intelligence, thermal images, bioimpedance to diagnose cancer, and novel treatment techniques.

List of contents

Main Problems in Cancer Diagnosis and Treatments. Bioimpedance and Cancer Detection. Thermal Images: Towards Cancer Detection. Artificial Intelligence and Cancer Detection. Hyperspectral Imaging for Cancer Applications. Oral Cancer Detection by Multi-Spectral Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (M-FLIM) And Linear Unmixing. Thermotherapies Based On Microwaves (MW) And Radiofrequency (RF). Thermotherapies Based On Ultrasound. Biological Effects of Thermal Therapies (EM Waves and Mechanical Waves). Photothermal Techniques in Cancer Detection- Photoacoustic Imaging. Tissue Characterization for Microwave and Ultrasonic Applications. Nanotheranostics in Cancer. Magneto Hyperthermia.
