Abstract :
We developed a new inductively coupled RF field (ICRF) heating source applicable for non-invasive cancer therapy. Carbon nanotube and optimized solutions were used to confirm energy transfer by the ICRF heating source. Remarkable increases in the temperature of the nano-particle solutions were observed indicating efficient non-invasive nano-particle heating.
