Magnetic hyperthermia is very promising cancer therapy in which heating temperature is expected to be a key determinant for its success. Herein, we present a simple, real-time, and high-accuracy proportional-integral-derivative-based temperature control system for magnetic hyperthermia using widely-used induction heater and fiber optic thermometer. Our in vitro result shows that the temperature of clinically-approved Resovist ® (0.5 ml) was accurately controlled with very small overshoot (e.g., 45.0 ± 0.07 • C and 55.0 ± 0.11 • C for low-and high-temperature magnetic hyperthermia). Our system has the potential to be used for magnetic hyperthermia either alone or together with other cancer treatment modalities for basic and clinical studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
