[OMRON RF hyperthermia treatment system HEH-500 C].
The RF capacitive type hyperthermia system "HEH-500 C" enables regional heating for superficial and deep seated tumors. It consists of a high frequency generator (frequency; 13.56 MHz, out put power; 500 watts), a control unit, a cooling unit for the applicators, an I/F unit (communicate the thermometer to RF generator and plotter printer), a thermometer (thermocouple thermometer or fiber fluorothermometer) and a plotter printer. Heating profile of HEH-500 C was presented with thermographic picture on TX-150 muscle equivalent phantom. Effects of bone and fat layer on heating profile of phantom were also examined. Points to be solved on thermometry, electromagnetic field environment and clinical use were also discussed.
