Many reports
suggest that hyperthermia is very effective treatment for tumor therapy. In
this work, MR compatible RF hyperthermia system is presented for a 3.0 T
MRI. Phantom and animal experiments have been conducted and the results
compared with the simulations results for tumor and tissue model. They are in
very good coincidence with each other, which confirms the utility and feasibility
of the MR compatible RF hyperthermia system with capacitive
driving.
