Abstract
This paper deals with our new results in the field of external applicators used for local microwave thermotherapy, like e.g. cancer treatment, physiotherapy, etc. We will focus here on a very special problem of aperture and water bolus resonances - a phenomenon, which can significantly deteriorate SAR and temperature distribution in the treated area and so significantly complicate the treatment of cancer patient.
