Abstract
In magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) nanoparticles behave as an internal source of heat in order to treat some type of cancer. In order not to have overheated zones, a prerequisite is the magnetic field uniformity. Some numerical tools are presented to design MFH device and treatment planning focusing on thermal uniformity in the treatment region.
