Title:
SYSTEM WITH AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD GENERATOR WITH COILS FOR TREATING TUMORS AND A METHOD FOR TREATING TISSUE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/142922
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
A treatment apparatus includes a plurality of coils (402, 403, 404, 405, 406) configured to generate time-varying magnetic fields to induce electric fields within a subject. In one example, electric field strengths of at least 1 V/cm are produced in brain tissues exhibiting glioblastoma multiforme. Fields can be applied based on computer-assisted modeling using electromagnetic characteristics of the brain and tissue can be identified as exhibiting disease using imaging data. A head mounted assembly (410) of coils can be used for convenient, portable treatment.
