Abstract
The heated metal needle used for tumor thermotherapy is considered crucial for enhancing the practicality of cauterization using electromagnetic induction-heating techniques. In this study, a novel coil capable of producing a deep magnetic field is designed. In the proposed design, the coil structure is improved to enhance the intensity of the coil's deep magnetic field and its suitability for deep-tissue cauterization. Furthermore, a series of experiments are conducted using a single and consistent input current. The heating experiments are conducted at varying depths by placing the needle beneath the coil. The proposed coil significantly increases the induction-heating temperature and provides a solution to the long-standing problem of insufficient needle temperature. This research has also improved the usability of the induction-heating equipment in the field of deep tumor ablation.
