Abstract
We have created a fast algorithm for calculating the temperature profile in a living tissue treated by magnetic fluid hyperthermia. Our algorithm solves an equation by the finite difference method. This equation includes the “heat sink” and “K-effective” effects. The algorithm need not an initial solution and it has the peculiarity that it makes a recursive division of the network, reducing thus the calculation period 5–9 times.
