Abstract

A novel micro/nano thermal device consisting of micro-implantable and magnetic nanoparticles, for minimally-invasive treatment of liver tumors is proposed. The micro-implant can release nanoparticles via an acoustically activated valve on demand. Hyperthermia treatment is accomplished via magnetic hysteresis heating.
