Tomás Drízdal

Tomás Drízdal is a Researcher in the Department of Radiotherapy at Erasmus University Medical Center (Erasmus MC) in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, specializing in hyperthermia applications for head and neck cancer treatment. His work integrates medical physics with clinical oncology to enhance thermal therapy precision and efficacy.

His core research interests include:

• Hyperthermia treatment planning and optimization
• Thermal modeling of head and neck tissues
• Phased array antenna design for deep heating
• Specific absorption rate (SAR) analysis
• Quality control methodologies using photogrammetry
• Integration of hyperthermia with radiotherapy protocols

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on computational tool development for treatment planning, experimental validation of thermal models, and innovation in applicator design. These efforts collectively advance clinical hyperthermia through improved temperature control, dosimetry, and patient-specific treatment protocols, particularly for recurrent head and neck cancers.
