DEFINITION

Classification: 600/10

Radio frequency wave induced magnetic field for subcutaneous hyperthermia:

(under subclass 9) Subject matter wherein electromagnetic waves having a determined radio wave frequency are utilized to generate the magnetic force field within body tissue which force field elevates the body temperature in the area being subjected to the magnetic field.

(1) Note. The degree of hyperthermia is controlled such that normal tissue is not affected by the rise in temperature but abnormal tissue such as tumors or malignancies are caused

to necrose or deteriorate.
