Ultrasonic hyperthermia system

Definition

An assembly of devices designed to produce and control the delivery of high heat (i.e., temperatures greater than 43? Celsius) to the body using ultrasonic energy for the intracorporeal or extracorporeal treatment of malignant or benign tumours, or other disease conditions. It is typically computer-controlled and is capable of producing whole-body or localized heating within tissues or organs. Energy delivered to the patient is from either an externally-mounted transducer or a transducer-containing catheter or probe used topically or inserted endoscopically or surgically. Unlike an ultrasound diathermy system, an ultrasound hyperthermia system is not used in physiotherapy applications.
