The term hyperthermia broadly refers to either an abnormally high fever or the treatment of a disease by the induction of fever. Its effect depends on the temperature and exposure time. The increasing number of applications and clinical trials at universities, clinics, and hospitals prove the feasibility and applicability of clinical therapeutic hyperthermia. This chapter aims to outline and discuss the means by which electromagnetic energy and other techniques can provide elevation of temperature within the human body. Because of the individual characteristic of each type of treatment, different modalities of heating systems have evolved. The chapter concludes with a discussion of challenges and opportunities for further improvement in technology and routine clinical application.
热疗这一术语广义上指异常高烧或通过引发发热来治疗疾病。其效果取决于温度和暴露时间。大学、诊所及医院中热疗应用和临床试验数量的不断增加证明了临床治疗性热疗的可行性和适用性。本章旨在概述并讨论电磁能及其他技术能够使人体体温升高的方式。由于每种治疗方式的个体特性，已发展出不同的加热系统模式。本章最后讨论了技术进一步改进及常规临床应用方面的挑战与机遇。
