What is it about?

Temperature-controlled laser hyperthermia using the thermal sensor circuit provides noncontact laser hyperthermia with the ability to maintain a constant temperature in the irradiated area.

Why is it important?

Laser hyperthermia is a powerful therapeutic modality that suppresses the growth of proliferative lesions. In hyperthermia, the optimal temperature range is dependent on the disease; thus, a temperature-driven laser output control system is desirable.

Perspectives

Photothermal therapy combined using this system will bring a revolution of cancer therapy because it can be treated efficiently.
