  • Developed two-dimensional inhomogeneous models representing biological tissues and tumors.
  • Analyzed low-frequency electromagnetic fields (up to 13.56 MHz) generated by solenoidal magnetic fields.

    • Main Results:

    • The ratio of power deposited in tumors versus surrounding tissue was highest for lung tumors.
    • Tumor and torso current patterns depend on the relative complex permittivity of the tumor.
    • Significant power deposition occurred in the outermost tissue layer, potentially manageable with surface cooling.

    Conclusions:

    • Solenoidal inductive applicators show promise for targeted hyperthermia, particularly for lung tumors.
    • Tumor-to-tissue power deposition ratios can be optimized by considering material properties.
    • Further research into thermal management strategies is warranted for effective clinical application.
