   Abstract:
   State and parameter estimation techniques to improve the accuracy of thermal models used to support clinical evaluation of hyperthermia treatments are considered. An implementation using a constrained optimization algorithm combined with a two-dimensional finite-element thermal model is described. Application of the method to clinical data is illustrated
