a first electrode adapted to be disposed in a tract organ of a living body and a second electrode adapted to be disposed on an outer circumference of the living body such that the second electrode is opposed to the first electrode so as to generate a spatially inhomogeneous electric field within the living body in cooperation with the first electrode so that a part of the living body near the first electrode may be heated more strongly than a part of the living body near the second electrode serves for selectively heating a tumor or malignancy region at the deep inside of the living body by a noninvasive technique.
摘要:
A device for hyperthermia comprising a first electrode adapted to be disposed in a tract organ of a living body and a second electrode adapted to be disposed on an outer circumference of the living body such that the second electrode is opposed to the first electrode so as to generate a spatially inhomogeneous electric field within the living body in cooperation with the first electrode so that a part of the living body near the first electrode may be heated more strongly than a part of the living body near the second electrode serves for selectively heating a tumor or malignancy region at the deep inside of the living body by a noninvasive technique.
摘要:
The endotract antenna for hyperthermia comprising a microwave radiation antenna (5), a balloon-like member (8) made of a thin polymer film and surrounding the antenna (5) and means (10,11,14,15) for feeding and draining a cooling liquid to and from the inside of the balloon-like member (8), enables effective warming of the endotract lesion such as tumor by effectively applying the energy of the microwaves emitted from the antenna (5) to the endotract lesion.
