Abstract
The paper presents a method for analysis of thermal injuries in patients undergoing hyperthermia treatment of the prostate. The application of the method shown here is the analysis of a treatment session in a patient with prostatic hyperplasia. The paper also discuss investigations performed in model experiments mimicing the clinical situation
