I am interested in obtaining sources of the most recent research
information regarding phased array hyperthermia, which is a new type of
hyperthermia treatment capable of hyperfocusing microwave radiation at
deep-seated tumors in the human body.  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.
