[全身と深部局所の同時的な電磁ハイパサーミアを可能にするHF EM装置] tech./dosim.

A HF EM installation allowing simultaneous whole body and deep local EM hyperthermia

掲載誌: Int J Hyperthermia 1999; 15 (4): 309-329

この研究は、全身用ハイパサーミア(WBH)および深部局所ハイパサーミア(DLH)に必要な電磁界を生成する、新しいアプローチに基づく高周波電磁界装置の構造および主な特徴について議論している。患者が蒸留水で満たされたボーラスの上に横たわり、ボーラスの下に配置された共平面容量型アプリケータから13.56 MHzの電磁界が生成される。43.5℃までの必要な治療温度に効果的な全身加熱を保証する一方で、皮膚温度は39〜40.5℃と低く維持することができること、DLHは追加のアプリケータにより可能になることなどを報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

To design and develop an installation which assures tolerant for the patient whole body hyperthermia procedures, being simple enough and convenient for the physician, and allowing additional local heating of the tumour simultaneously with whole body hyperthermia. The aim of the study is to describe and analyse the design, main features, and achieved parameters of the installation developed to achieve the above mentioned goals.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

The high frequency electromagnetic field, at a frequency of 13.56 MHz, is created by a coplanar capacity type applicator positioned under a distilled water filled bolus that the patient is lying on. The electromagnetic energy being released directly in the deep tissues ensures effective whole body heating to required therapeutic temperatures of up to 43.5°C. Skin temperature can be maintained as low as 39-40.5°C. For deep local hyperthermia, the installation is equipped with additional applicators and a generator operating at a frequency of 40.68 MHz. Controllable power output in the range of 100-800 W at a frequency of 13.56 MHz and 50-350 W at a frequency of 40.68 MHz allows accurate temperature control during whole body hyperthermia, deep local hyperthermia and whole body hyperthermia/deep local hyperthermia procedures. The scattered electromagnetic field strength measured in the vicinity of the operating installation does not exceed security standards.
