Abstract

Hyperthermia has been used for many years to treat various types of malignant tumor because tumor cells are more sensitive to temperature in the range of 42-45°C than are normal tissue cells. In this study, we aim to develop the local heating method and monitoring method for hyperthermia using the Ferromagnetic Implant with Low Curie Temperature (FILCT) under high frequency magnetic field. The heat generation inefficiency of FILCT causes a barrier in order to use this method as a bedside tool. In this research work, we coated the FILCT with a metal material in order to improve the heat generation efficiency. The magnetic permeability of FILCT decreased around the Curie temperature; therefore we can use FILCT as a thermal probe by measuring of the changing vector of the magnetic flux at the outside of human body noninvasively. In this paper, we describe about the experimental setup and in vitro experimental results.
