Abstract

For regional deep heating a number of non-invasive electromagnetic devices have been developed using either quasi-static or radiative methods to transfer the energy to the patient. They comprise the Annular phased array (AA), capacitive systems, magnetic coils, coaxial — and ridged waveguide systems. Generally the devices with a circumferential E-field are expected to be more favorable to obtain deep heating. However, current experience (1,2,3,7,9,11,12,15,19,20) indicates that there is no system available yet, which is able to induce adequate heating at all tumor locations in depth. Therefore continuation of development and clinical evaluation of the prototype systems is necessary in order to obtain a range of “site specific” hyperthermia systems.
