[Investigational study of various kinds of problems in heating methods. Regarding equipment. The BSD-1000 hyperthermia system].

The BSD-1000 Hyperthermia System delivers therapeutic heat (hyperthermia) to surface or subsurface and deep seated malignant tumors by the external or interstitial application of electromagnetic energy, and monitors the temperature of target and surrounding tissues by means of invasive temperature probes. In response to an operator-designated control probe, the BSD-1000 Hyperthermia System automatically adjusts power to maintain the operator-set therapeutic temperature. Characterization was described according to the following items mainly based on home data, heating ability temperature measurement environmental effects by the electromagnetic field 4) practical problems. It is important to submit materials so that users could judge which equipments would suit their own purposes. In order to standardize how to express the efficiency in each equipment, collaboration is stressed in every concerned field.
