From clinical and biological experience it is oftentimes necessary to administer hyperthermia with a minimum number of temperature monitoring tumor probes. For this reason a digital readout device has been developed to monitor the feedback temperature of a hyperthermia generator. In this way the thermometry used to monitor tumor core temperature during biological or clinical hyperthermia can be minimized. The unit and its capabilities are described.
