Abstract:
Induction heating using 'ferromagnetic implant with low Curie temperature (FILCT)' is one of the heating methods for hyperthermia. However, a lot of energy is needed to heat malignant tumors; the heating efficiency has to be improved. In order to address this problem, we propose using FILCT as a probe for temperature. A non-invasive temperature measurement system was developed based on this approach. A key advantage of this system is that it can noninvasively distinguish whether the temperature of FILCT has reached the Curie temperature or not. As a result, materials with high heating efficiency may be used.

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature
Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...
Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don a fresh pair of gloves to prevent cross-infection and ensure patient safety.
Step 2: Explain the procedure to the patient to establish trust. Clear communication establishes trust with the patient, ensures they understand what to expect, promotes cooperation, and enhances comfort during the procedure.
Step 3: Assess the patient's forehead...
