Abstract

A study of clinical hyperthermia based on the soft heating method is discussed. A heating device made of temperature-sensitive amorphous metal flakes consisting of Fe-P-C-Cr was prepared and implanted in an gar phantom and in vivo. We measured the temperature distribution established in a phantom and the heating characteristics in vivo. In an animal experiment, a rabbit and a VX-2 tumor were used. The VX-2 tumor was transplanted into the rabbit's liver. The results of the experiment reveal that the heating device sufficiently heats the tumor when the temperature is up to 43°C under blood flow. This method has potential applications in clinical uses.
