Magnetic Induction Hyperthermia has generated a growing interest in the medical field and oncology, in particular. By heating malignant tumorous tissue it has been shown that the malignant cells are more sensitive and responsive to induced heat than normal cells.
Hyperthermia therapy then can in some circumstances have a positive and
synergistic effect with radiation and chemotherapy treatments when those treatments alone do not adequately control or reverse malignant tumor growth.
Induction heating is one method of generating heat. At high frequency and with high levels of magnetic field strength, a heating coil of a given shape and size in conjunction with other methods can apply a hyperthermia effect on tumorous cells.
Induction Hyperthermia Machines offered with frequencies of 150-400 kHz and highest SAR ratings of 10-30 k Amps/meter. Both lab and clinical machines offered. |

Hyperthermia Definition:
A type of treatment in which body tissue is exposed to high temperatures to damage and kill cancer cells or to make cancer cells more sensitive to the effects of radiation and certain anticancer drugs

| Dual Heating Station allows the testing of mutiple heating coil sizes, frequencies and shapes from two independent stations: Station #1 and Station #2. Single Station Units are also available, as are handheld or articulated versions. All units are specifically designed for hyperthermia applications. Required voltages and coil amperage are unusually high to produce the necessary high field intensity. Off-the-shelf induction heating systems don't work in this application. |
Magnetic field intensity can be varied from zero to 25-30 kAmps/Meter at either station. In this case Heating Coil Diameters are sized 100 and 125 mm respectively. (Note condition of the demonstration steel screw driver at Station #1 after 5 sec. of full power heating from MSI's 5.0 kW Power Supply.) |
