Abstract
A supersonic hyperthermia treating method comprises the steps of inserting a heat generating member having a high attenuation for supersonic waves into a diseased part in a body and leaving it there, then transmitting supersonic waves generated outside of the body from a supersonic wave generator for heating the heat generating member to hyperthermically treat the diseased part.
Claims29
A supersonic hyperthermia treating method comprising the steps of;
- inserting a heat generating member having a high attenuation for supersonic waves into a part to be treated in a body;
- leaving the heat generating member in the part;
- and
- transmitting supersonic waves from the outside of the body to the heat generating member by means of a supersonic wave generator which generates supersonic waves to cause the heat generating member to heat the part to be treated.
