Design and construction of a Maxwell-type induction coil for magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: We describe a modified Helmholtz induction coil, or Maxwell coil, that generates alternating magnetic fields (AMF) having field uniformity (≤10%) within a = 3000 cm³ volume of interest for magnetic hyperthermia research.Materials and methods: Two-dimensional finite element analysis (2D-FEA) was used for electromagnetic design of the induction coil set and to develop specifications for the required matching network. The matching network and induction coil set were fabricated using best available practices and connected to a 120 kW industrial induction heating power supply. System performance was evaluated by magnetic field mapping with a magnetic field probe, and tests were performed using gel phantoms.Results: Tests verified that the system g
