Table 2 Peak temperatures at the skin surface and in muscle induced by microwave hyperthermia.

	Baseline (°C)	Peak (°C)	Temperature rise (°C)	Duration (s)
Skin surface
Mean (SD)	34.2 (1.4)	39.2 (0.5)*	5.0 (1.5)	10.7 (1.6)
Range	31.6–35.9	38.2–39.8	3.1–8.2	8.4–13. 7
Muscle
Mean (SD)	35.0 (1.3)	43.7 (0.8)*	8.9 (1.4)	9.9 (1.4)
Range	33.2–37.3	42.8–45.4	6.3–11.4	8.4–12.5

Duration, time to peak temperature.

*p<0.01 vs baseline.

Both the skin surface and muscle peak temperatures were significantly increased from baseline.
