It is especially useful with inoperable brain tumors. I am most interested in finding out if any current research is being done with such phased array systems combined with magnetic resonance imaging and computer-assisted thermography to assist in the treatment procedure. This is a very new field and is thought to have great promise in the treatment of cancer, especially in light of the recent advances in magnetic imaging technique, which can be used to monitor microwave transmission through various tissues in the body. -- Anthony Albert ..!ucbvax!albert albert@ucbvax.berkeley.edu Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
