concurrent hyperthermia and radiation therapy in treatment of cancer show a strong evidence of a synergistic enhancement. we designed a new self-regulating thermo-brachytherapy seed, which serves as a source of both radiation and heat for concurrent administration of brachytherapy and hyperthermia. the thermo-brachytherapy seed has a core of ferromagnetic material which produces heat when subje...

High quality heating device made of ferromagnetic alloy (thermal seed) was developed for hyperthermia treatment of cancer. Ferromagnetic seeds of PdNi, PdCo and CuNi are prepared by induction furnace and subsequent heat treatment. Magnetic induction and hysteresis loops are measured as functions of temperature. The power dissipated from each seed was calculated from the area enclosed by the hys...

an irreversible stirling heat pump cycle using ferromagnetic materials as a cyclic working substance is established. the influences of finite-rate heat transfer, heat leak, regeneration time, regenerative lossand the internal irreversibility on the cyclic performance of magnetic heat pumps are taken into account. on the basis of the thermodynamic properties of ferromagnetic materials, the perfo...

Induction heating (IH) is a process of the electrically conducting materials especially ferromagnetic with help electromagnetic induction through generating heat in an object by eddy currents. A well-entrenched way IH to design system pertaining usage such as stainless steel, iron, etc., which restricts end user’s choice using utensils made only. This research article proposes new scheme that e...

Abstract Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is an excellent soft mold material with the advantages of precise replication, easy demolding, and low production cost. However, strength hardness PDMS are relatively low, cannot be directly inductively heated. In this study, embedded ferromagnetic powders to increase its make it heatable. Direct induction heating can raise inherent temperature, efficiency b...

This paper reviews recent developments of eddy current pulsed thermography (ECPT) for material characterization and nondestructive evaluation (NDE). Due to the fact that line-coil-based ECPT, with the limitation of non-uniform heating and a restricted view, is not suitable for complex geometry structures evaluation, Helmholtz coils and ferrite-yoke-based excitation configurations of ECPT are pr...

Induction heating is used in many industrial applications to heat electrically conductive materials. The coupled electromagnetic-thermal induction process non-linear general, and for ferromagnetic materials it becomes challenging since both the electromagnetic thermal responses are non-linear. As a result of existing non-linearities, simulating task. In present work, transient finite element so...

Inducing cell death by heating targeted particles shows promise in cancer treatment. Here, we aim to demonstrate the feasibility of extending the use of this technique to treat and remove vascular deposits and thrombosis. We used induction heating of macrophages, which are key contributors to atherosclerosis and have demonstrated clear feasibility for heating and destroying these cells using fe...
