Magnetophoretic Placement of Ferromagnetic Nanoparticles in RF Hyperthermia

What is it about?

This article presents a method of permanently placing ferromagnetic particles in the tumor region for the duration of the treatment. It is based on the phenomenon of magnetophoresis, that is, the influence of a magnetic field with a strongly variable gradient on magnetically induced magnetic moment of particle. The presented approach has a great importance in particle separation industry as well as in nanoparticle tumor targeting.
