A magnetic field applicator to heat magnetic substances in biological tissue, having a magnetic yoke with two pole shoes across from each other and separated from each other by a distance that defines the magnetic field exposure volume produced by the applicator, and with two magnetic coils, one assigned to each of the two pole shoes, to produce a magnetic field. The magnetic yoke and the pole shoes consist of ferrite segments assembled together. The pole shoes oppose each other and are surrounded by magnetic disk-shaped coils with one or more windings extending helicoidally, which creates an intermediate air gap between the pole shoes and coils. This results in a magnetic field applicator with the ability to effectively and efficiently administer hyperthermia and thermo-ablation procedures to destroy cancerous tissue in a patient, as well as having uses in other medical and industrial applications.
A magnetic field applicator for heating magnetic substances in biological tissue, said applicator being of the type which comprises a magnetic yoke with two pole shoes facing each other and separated by a prescribed distance to define a magnetic field exposure volume in which the tissue is heated;
