Glioblastoma multiforme is the most frequent and most aggressive malignant braintumor with de facto no long term curation by the use of current multimodal therapeutic approaches. RF heating at ultrahigh fields (B0=7.0T, f=298MHz) has the potential of delivering sufficiently large thermal dosage for hyperthermia of relatively large tumor areas. This work focuses on EMF simulations and provides realistic applicator designs tailored for simultaneous RF heating and MR imaging. Our preliminary results suggest that RF power can be focused to both a small tumor area and a big clinical target volume based on segmented patient data.
