Design and implementation of RF hyperthermia system for deep-seated cancer therapy.
심재성 암치료를 위한 RF hyperthermia system의 설계 및 제작
Abstract
This paper covers the design and implementation process of RF hypertermia system for cancer therapy. Among many hyperthermic methods, RF capacitive heating method is discussed because it can heat the deep-seated tumors selectively. The RF power oscillator and its applicators were designed and implemented. And the experiments were performed with agar phantom and dog to prove that the system can heat any depth selectively. And the electrical safety and appropriateness of clinical application was proved through the human living-body test.
