Abstract
The electric field is induced by an internal applicator placed inside the biological tissue attacked by the cancer. The mathematical description is based on the Pennes equations (for the temperature field) and the Laplace equations (for the electric field). Electro-thermal coupling is taken into account by means of an additional internal heat source occurring in the bioheat transfer equation. On the stage of numerical computations, the evolutionary algorithm coupled with the finite element method is used.
