A temperature regulating circuit for experimental localized current field hyperthermia systems

Abstract
Interest in localized current field (LCF) hyperthermia tumor therapy is rapidly increasing. As yet there is not integral LCF system commercially available. An experimental LCF system may be readily assembled from discrete, general purpose components, except for the tumor temperature regulating circuitry. An LCF system designed around general purpose components and a simple circuit for temperature regulation are presented. Comments on system safety, calibration and performance are included.
