A novel inductive aperture-type applicator (IATA) effectively heats deep tissues without excessive fat or edge heating. This adaptable device shows promise for clinical applications despite low initial power efficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Physics
  • Electromagnetic Therapy

Background:

  • Inductive heating is a key modality in therapeutic applications.
  • Developing applicators with precise thermal control is crucial for patient safety and efficacy.
  • Existing applicators may face limitations in targeting specific tissue depths or adapting to anatomical variations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and evaluate a novel inductive aperture-type applicator (IATA) for targeted tissue heating.
  • To assess the thermal characteristics and applicability of the IATA in phantom studies.
  • To determine the suitability of the developed 'Inductron' equipment for clinical use.

Main Methods:

  • Design of a one-turn, square, column-like coil made of a metal strip as the IATA.

  • Experimental evaluation using a phantom to measure heating patterns and characteristics.
  • Assessment of applicator adaptability to varying target sizes, shapes, and depths.
  • Testing the 'Inductron' equipment for clinical application requirements.

    • Main Results:

    • The IATA demonstrated effective heating of deep tissue portions.
    • Minimal excessive heating was observed in the fat layer and near the aperture edges.
    • Non-contact heating capability was confirmed.
    • Aperture size and shape were adjustable for target site adaptation, influencing penetration depth.
    • The applicator could be operated at arbitrary frequencies, though power efficiency was low.

    Conclusions:

    • The designed IATA offers precise, controllable deep tissue heating with enhanced safety features.
    • Adaptability in aperture design allows for tailored treatment of various anatomical sites.
    • The 'Inductron' system meets essential criteria for clinical implementation, warranting further investigation.
