CA 2648277

A single-coil RF electrode, along with an associated method of operation, has been developed for use in an RF applicator, RFA apparatus or RFA system for heating tumors, including large tumors with a single heating session. The RF electrode generally has a helical geometry, although many variations exist, and is provided with an excitation current having a frequency that is sufficient for magnetic induction and coupling of various electric and magnetic fields to produce an electric field within the volume surrounded by the coil for directly applying heat to the tissue therein.

L'invention concerne une électrode à bobine R.F. unique et un procédé de fonctionnement associé, cette électrode étant développée pour être utilisée dans un applicateur R.F., un appareil ou un système d'ablation TRF destiné à chauffer des tumeurs, notamment de grandes tumeurs, en une seule session de chauffage. En général, l'électrode R.F. présente une géométrie hélicoïdale, bien qu'il existe de nombreuses variantes, et est excitée au moyen d'un courant d'excitation de fréquence suffisante pour une induction magnétique et le couplage de différents champs électriques et magnétiques afin de produire un champ électrique à l'intérieur du volume entouré par la bobine et d'appliquer directement la chaleur sur le tissu entouré.
