Abstract:
Magnetic hyperthermia is a tumor therapeutic modality with great potential. It ablates malignant cells using the heat from magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) subjected to an alternating magnetic field. The temperature profile obtained during treatment is a function of the properties of the magnetic field and MNPs, and also the injection strategy. The injection strategy plays an important role in the quality of magnetic hyperthermia treatment since proper injection allows a more homogeneous temperature field to be obtained with less harm to normal tissue. This article considers a Gaussian distribution for a temperature around an injection site (IS) and proposes several methods to optimize the treatment temperature for a proposed model by considering both the injection dose and the IS locations simultaneously. Two metaheuristic algorithms are considered in this article, namely, particle swarm optimization (PSO) and simulated annealing (SA). In general, the PSO algorithm presents better results than the SA due to its smaller dependence on the initial value, but its convergence is slower. Simulation results demonstrate that treatment efficiency can be significantly increased by using the proposed approach when the PSO algorithm is considered for the simultaneous optimization of injection strategy and injection location for magnetic hyperthermia.
