    We have developed a low-cost, rapid, and highly sensitive antigen test for Fusobacterium Nucleatum that utilizes the antigen-antibody reaction between magnetic nanoparticles and biological materials (antigens), which changes the magnetic flux passing through the small pickup coil. The magnetic flux of the pickup coil decreased with increasing antigen concentration because the density of magnetic nanoparticles decreased with increasing antigen concentration. The driving coil was air-cooled to reduce thermal drift, and the size of the differential pickup coil was reduced to achieve a high signal-to-noise ratio in magnetic flux measurements. After the antigen-antibody reaction, the magnetic nanoparticles and antigens are agglutinated by magnetic force, reducing the influence of contaminants and allowing the concentration of Fusobacterium Nucleatum to be evaluated without a washing step. The method was validated using samples collected from 28 individuals. The results showed a strong correlation with qPCR analysis (correlation coefficient = 0.69, p < 0.0001), highlighting the accuracy and precision comparable to conventional qPCR systems. The proposed approach offers several advantages for bacterial detection: low cost, rapid evaluation, high sensitivity, and minimal interference from contaminants.

    Lymph node (LN) metastasis remains a critical determinant of cancer progression and prognosis, yet surgical interventions result in adverse effects. In this preclinical study, we investigated a minimally invasive therapeutic approach combining magnetic hyperthermia (MH) with a lymphatic drug delivery system (LDDS) using iron oxide nanoparticles (Resovist®). A custom-built MH device precisely regulated LN temperature at 45 °C. Using a mouse model (MXH10/Mo/lpr) of tumor-suspicious LN (ts-LN) metastasis, Resovist® was intranodally administered, followed by MH treatment. This combination significantly suppressed tumor growth in ts-LN and reduced lung metastasis, with enhanced M1 macrophage polarization and antitumor immune responses. Histopathology confirmed tumor necrosis and localized nanoparticle deposition, while qPCR of spleen tissue indicated differential immune modulation. No overt systemic toxicity was observed. The results demonstrated that this theranostic approach allows for real-time thermal control and effective regional tumor inhibition. The technique holds promise for early-stage cancer patients, offering a non-invasive, image-guided alternative to surgical LN resection with the potential for clinical translation.

    We aim to apply protein sensors to rapid intraoperative diagnosis of lymph node metastasis. In the present study, cytokeratin, which is a biomarker of lymph node metastasis, was bound to protein G-coated magnetic nanoparticles (FG beads, 180 nmφ) via primary antibody (Anti-Cytokeratin AE1/AE3 Antibody (Monoclonal Mouse IgG1)). The increase of the protein aggregated the magnetic nanoparticles and enhanced the magnetic signal. We have observed magnetic nanoparticles and protein aggregates by cryo-electron microscopy to obtain evidence for this hypothesis. By adding gold nanoparticles to the antibody, we observed the cross-bridging of magnetic nanoparticles via the antigen. Lymph nodes were obtained from two esophageal cancer patients and one non-cancer patient (corrosive esophagitis). Lymph nodes from cancer patients contain cytokeratin, which promotes the aggregation of magnetic nanoparticles and increases the magnetic signal. Statistically significant differences could be assessed between two cancer and non-cancer patients, suggesting the potential of intraoperative rapid diagnosis.

    Highly sensitive magnetic field sensors are essential for applications such as biomedical diagnostics and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) assessments. This study focuses on optimizing a GHz‐range thin‐film magnetic sensor by incorporating a slit pattern in the magnetic layer, which improves impedance matching and current distribution. Amorphous CoNbZr thin‐film sensors with slit widths ranging from 0 μm (no slit) to 50 μm were fabricated. Among these, the 10 μm slit design exhibited the best impedance matching and magnetic field sensitivity. Additionally, a carrier suppression circuit was implemented to reduce phase noise, resulting in improved sensitivity, achieving a minimum detectable field of 1.41 × 10−11 T/√Hz. The sensor was employed for precise near‐field measurements in wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, where it outperformed conventional loop antennas. Experimental results demonstrated superior sensitivity and enhanced spatial resolution, particularly near the ferromagnetic resonance under specific DC bias and carrier frequency conditions. These findings highlight the potential of the optimized sensor for improving electromagnetic interference (EMI) and EMC assessments. © 2025 The Author(s).

    We developed a rapid, low-cost protein detection method using magnetic nanoparticles and demonstrated that GDF-15 (Growth Differentiation Factor 15) binding induces nanoparticle aggregation through an antigen-antibody reaction. This aggregation by cross-bridging increased magnetic responsiveness to switch magnetic fields with increasing GDF-15 concentration, although this aggregation was not quantitatively verified. In this study, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to quantitatively assess the role of GDF-15 in promoting the aggregation of magnetic nanoparticles. TEM analysis showed that the GDF-15-bound samples formed approximately 1.5% more aggregates larger than 0.03 μm² compared to controls, confirming the cross-bridge effect was confirmed.

    Hollow-structured Fe3O4 nanoparticles, with an increased surface area compared to solid counterparts, show promise in cancer therapy through potential applications in magnetic hyperthermia and drug delivery via encapsulation. This study investigates the shell thickness-dependent heating efficiency of hollow Fe3O4 nanoparticles with a magnetic vortex structure less prone to magnetization reversal. Using the solvothermal method, we maintained a nearly constant inner diameter (230 nm) while varying shell thickness (400 nm, 530 nm, and 720 nm in outer diameter denoted as H400, H530, and H720) by adjusting only the outer diameter through a change in reagent ratio and heating temperature. Under an applied AC magnetic field of 270 kHz, 429.5 Oe, the specific absorption rate (SAR) values of H400, H530, and H720 samples (calculated based on the initial temperature rising rate observed during the time interval of 0 to 30s) were 265.1, 130.2, and 120.9 W/g, respectively. These findings, supported by DC hysteresis loss experiments and micromagnetic simulations of AC hysteresis loss, indicate that particles with thinner shells at the same inner diameter exhibit enhanced heating efficiency due to a stable magnetic vortex structure and significant hysteresis loss. This highlights the potential utility of hollow nanoparticles with thin shells as a particle shape for magnetic hyperthermia.

    Abstract: This study presents a pioneering and efficient method for synthesizing Au–Fe3O4 heterodimer nanoparticles (NPs) with enhanced magneto-optical properties via a thermal decomposition route. By utilizing triiron dodecacarbonyl (Fe3(CO)12) as a safer alternative to the commonly used toxic iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)5), a near 100% production yield was achieved through optimization of the molar ratio of Au seeds to Fe3(CO)12 (0.6:2.0 m mol) and reflux time (60 min). The resulting heterodimer NPs exhibited a medium diameter of d0=6.89 nm for the Au component and d0=14.51 nm for the Fe3O4 component, with the Au seeds having a diameter of d0=4.22 nm. These NPs displayed remarkable magneto-optical properties, including high magnetization (Ms = 72.6 emu/g-Fe3O4 at 300K) and a distinct plasmon resonance band at 553 nm. This band experienced a 42 nm red shift compared to pure Au NPs, attributed to electron transfer at the interface between Au and Fe3O4. The lattice match between the materials suggests epitaxial growth of Fe3O4 onto the Au surface, enhancing the stability of heterodimer NPs. The use of triiron dodecacarbonyl as a precursor in the synthesis of these high-quality Au–Fe3O4 NPs highlights their significant potential for magnetic-plasmonic bio-applications.

    Abstract: A new broad bandwidth detection of the GDF15 protein (Growth Differentiation Factor-15), which utilizes the broad bandwidth observation up to 67 GHz, has been proposed. We prepared the sandwich-type bound method using a primary and secondary antibody with additional magnetic nanoparticles on an Au film. A DC field application enhanced sharp ferromagnetic resonance, which improved the signal-to-noise ratio of detecting GDF15. The density of GDF15 changed as follows: 0, 0.5, 5, and 50 μg/ml . The magnetic susceptivity and FMR intensity increased clearly with the increase of the GDF15 density.

    Abstract In this study, we employed a high-frequency-driven thin-film magnetic sensor to precisely measure the magnetic near field with enhanced spatial resolution, a challenge often faced by conventional loop antennas. Our study introduced an innovative approach utilizing this magnetic sensor to assess the magnetic near field in wireless power transfer systems, comparing its performance against that of a loop antenna. Our findings demonstrate that the magnetic sensor achieves its peak signal-to-noise ratio at a DC bias field of 4.7 Oe and carrier frequency of 0.5 GHz, boasting a detection limit for magnetic fields of ~0.4 A/m. Moreover, the magnetic field trend measured by the magnetic sensor closely aligns with simulation results, exhibiting sharper changes around the center compared to the loop antenna. These results highlight the superior sensitivity and spatial resolution of the magnetic sensor over conventional loop antennas. By enhancing the reliability of electronic systems across diverse applications, these sensors pave the way for advanced EMI/EMC evaluation techniques. © 2024 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan and Wiley Periodicals LLC.

    Dumbbell-shaped hybrid nanoparticles, consisting of gold and iron oxide (Au-Fe3O4 NPs), show promise for magnetic hyperthermia cancer therapy. However, conventional synthesis methods using toxic iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)5) raise safety concerns. We propose a safer approach using triiron dodecacarbonyl (Fe3(CO)12) as a precursor. We synthesize these NPs by initially reducing gold (III) chloride trihydrate with a tert-butylamine-borane complex at room temperature, yielding Au NPs. These Au NPs are combined with a Fe3(CO)12 solution and heated to 300 °C for 1 hour, resulting in the desired dumbbell-shaped Au-Fe3O4 NPs. Characterization confirms their morphology, with average sizes of 5 nm for Au NPs and 15 nm for Fe3O4 NPs. Our systematic evaluation of hydrophilic-treated Au-Fe3O4 NPs (Ms=49.5 emu/g at 3T, 300K) demonstrates temperature increases beyond the therapeutic threshold of 45 °C (ΔT=8 °C) at higher field strengths (8.6–30.0 kA/m), highlighting their cancer treatment potential. Quantitative analysis reveals superb performance, with a specific absorption rate (SAR) of 60.0 W/g and intrinsic loss power (ILP) of 0.25 nHm2kg−1 at the maximum field strength. These findings emphasize the significant potential of our dumbbell-shaped Au–Fe3O4 NPs for magnetic hyperthermia.

A lab-made setup was employed to evaluate the FMR and temperature increment of NPs under FMR conditions. The resonant frequency of both Fe3O4 @ Au NPs and their uncoated Fe3O4 NPs was several GHz and increased with the strength of the applied dc field as accurately described by the Kittel equation. At a given dc field, the resonant frequency of Fe3O4 @ Au NPs slightly shifted lower than compared to Fe3O4 NPs. Remarkably, the initial temperature rising rate reached maximum values corresponding to the dc fields for FMR condition (e.g., 1.294 °/s and 3.894 °C/s under HDC=1200 Oe for RF field of fAC=4 GHz and HAC=4 Oe for Fe3O4 @ Au and Fe3O4 NPs, respectively). These values were two orders of magnitude higher than that of Néel-Brownian relaxation for conventional magnetic hyperthermia (MH). Furthermore, the maximum value of the heating rate increased with higher RF field frequencies. These results demonstrate the potential of controlling the temperature of NPs by adjusting RF field and dc field parameters, offering promising prospects for therapeutic temperature control in MH applications.

    Abstract: We present the synthesis and characterization of ultrasmall iron oxide/gold composite nanoparticles (Fe3O4@Au NPs) with different Fe3O4 sizes, along with an evaluation of their heating efficiency for potential use in magnetic hyperthermia (MH) applications. The Fe3O4 NPs of approximately 5, 10, and 13 nm were synthesized using the thermal decomposition method, followed by gold deposition via the reduction of gold acetate at 190 °C. The morphology, structure, and magnetic properties of as-prepared Fe3O4 and their Fe3O4@Au NPs were determined and characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) analyses. The magnetization of Fe3O4 NPs increased with increasing their size, reaching 74.7 emu/g for ~13 nm NPs. The Fe3O4@Au NPs contained 94.3%, 96.3%, and 77.0% Au (wt%) for Fe3O4~5, Fe3O4~10, and Fe3O4~13 nm@Au, respectively, estimated from the magnetization values. The heating efficiency specific absorption rate (SAR) demonstrated an increasing trend with Fe3O4 size, reaching maximum values of 136.7 and 23.4 W/g under a magnetic field of 25.7 kA/m and 267 kHz for Fe3O4~13 nm and Fe3O4~13 nm@Au NPs, respectively. These results indicate high heating efficient capabilities and the potential use of NPs for MH applications.

    This letter presents an innovative method for rapid and precise measurement of bacteria in liquid samples for point-of-care testing. The method utilizes the bacteria concentration-dependent ac susceptibility of magnetic nanoparticles, allowing for efficient and practical bacterial detection. The ac susceptibility of the magnetic nanoparticles/bacteria aggregate exhibits a decrease proportional to the bacteria concentration, attributed to the influence of bacteria on the magnetic coupling between the magnetic nanoparticles and magnetic dynamic response of the aggregate. To validate the performance of our method, we conducted measurements on Fusobacterium nucleatum samples obtained from both healthy individuals and cancer patients. The results demonstrated a robust correlation (correlation factor up to 0.94) between our measurements and the results obtained through quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis, highlighting the high precision and accuracy of our method in quantifying bacteria, which is comparable to a qPCR system. The simplified apparatus not only reduces costs but also saves time by eliminating the need for DNA amplification of short segments, making it a promising alternative for rapid and precise bacterial measurement in point-of-care testing.

    Abstract To realize transparent photoelectric conversion elements useful for optical wireless power-transmission systems and sensors, we investigated thin films of 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno [3,2-b][1]benzothiophene and fluorinated derivatives of 7,7,8,8,-tetracyanoquinodimethane (C8BTBT)(F4TCNQ) produced by a simple solution-coating method. We found that the addition of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) to a (C8BTBT)(F4TCNQ) solution promoted crystal formation and increased the optical absorption of the film. This was because the addition of NPs formed a middle layer, and the NPs acted as starting points for the formation of crystal nuclei. Photocurrent measurements confirmed that the quantum efficiency (QE) of the film with NPs was improved by about 14-fold compared with the film without NPs. The promotion of crystal formation increased optical absorption and significantly improved QE.

    A novel method for the rapid detection of bacteria in the liquid phase for point-of-care testing was developed using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) conjugated with antibodies. We utilized the magnetic characteristic that the magnetic susceptibility decreases when the magnetism of MNP aggregate changes from ferromagnetism to superparamagnetism after bacteria bind to MNPs through an antigen-antibody reaction (Nanomag-D, 500 nmφ, 0.2 μl/sample). The magnetic susceptibility of Fusobacterium nucleatum samples was measured using a lab-made detection setup. We found that the susceptibility depends on the concentration of Fusobacterium nucleatum with optical density (OD) values ranging from 10-4 to 1 (i.e. 8 × 104 ~ 8 × 108 CFU/ml). In addition, the detection time was only about 49 seconds, which shows promise for point-of-care testing.

    In this study, we aim to develop gold-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4@Au NPs) as theranostic agents for magnetic hyperthermia and CT imaging applications. The Fe3O4 NPs were synthesized via thermal decomposition method, and the gold was then deposited onto the surface of Fe3O4 NPs by reducing gold acetate at 190 °C. The average sizes of Fe3O4 and Fe3O4@Au NPs were 5.2 nm and 6.1 nm, respectively, which are effectively removed by the kidneys. The magnetization of Fe3O4@Au NPs (9.7 emu/g-Fe3O4) at 300 K was much smaller than that of Fe3O4 NPs (52.4 emu/g-Fe3O4). The heating efficiency of Fe3O4@Au NPs in water was sufficient to treat the tumor at 43–45 °C, and their high CT value of 851 HU was obtained. The synthesized ultrasmall Fe3O4@Au NPs showed great promise as a potential theranostic agent for magnetic hyperthermia and CT imaging applications.

    In this study, we prepared ultrasmall FeCo nanoparticles (NPs) with a high magnetic moment and examined their antigen-antibody reaction for biodetection applications. The FeCo NPs were collected from the FeCo-BaF2 nanogranular film with Fe:Co:Ba:F = 14:11:21:54 at.%, by dissolving the film in water since the BaF2 matrix was deliquescent. The size of FeCo NPs was ∼5 nm and the saturation magnetization was estimated to be ∼15.30 kG (149.0 emu/g). The Candida albicans antibodies (abcam ab53891)-conjugated FeCo NPs were collected by using an ultracentrifugal separation (110 000 rpm, 90 min), they were then reacted with Candida albicans. The obtained result indicates that Candida albicans were absorbed successfully onto FeCo NPs, and the number of Candida albicans bound to FeCo NPs counted from the micrographs of the aggregates of FeCo NPs and Candida albicans increased significantly by adding sonication treatment of the film in water before binding them to the antibodies. The success of antigen-antibody reaction of ultrasmall NPs with high magnetic moment improves detection sensitivity as well as offers potential detection for smaller biomolecules.

    ABSTRACT We investigate the frequency dispersion of complex permeability in the GHz range in superparamagnetic nickel–zinc ferrite thin films with different Ni/Zn ratios using a microstrip probe. The films, comprising crystallites as small as 3 nm and deposited by a microwave-irradiation-assisted solvothermal method, exhibit the coexistence of two resonance characteristics—a ferromagnetic resonance peak (𝑓𝑟 ) at ∼2 GHz and a superparamagnetic resonance peak (𝑓𝑏) above 20 GHz, breaching Snoek's limit. The high value of 𝑓𝑟 is attributed to the high surface anisotropy and far-from-equilibrium distribution of cations in the lattice, while 𝑓𝑏 is attributed to the thermally driven superparamagnetic relaxation of ferrite nanocrystallites in the thin films. This work demonstrates the feasibility of employing superparamagnetic ferrite thin films so deposited as excellent CMOS-integrable magnetic components for high-speed and high-frequency electromagnetic device applications.

    A very sensitive thin-film sensor was developed by using a straight coplanar line-type sensor with flip chip bonding. SrTiO film (about 3-μm thick), amorphous Co85Nb12Zr3 film and Cu/Cr film (2 μm/0.2 μm) were fabricated. We discuss the high-frequency characteristics and sensitivity of the sensor element through comparison of cases with and without flip chip bonding. Good sensitivity with a phase change of over 290 degrees/Oe was obtained with flip chip bonding.

    Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally behind ischemic heart disease and stroke, accounting for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018 according to World Health Organization. Magnetic hyperthermia is a promising cancer therapy which has been gaining more attention in recent years owing to fewer side effects compared to chemotherapy and less invasive than surgical therapy. This therapy utilizes the fact that the antitumor effect occurs when the tumor is heated continuously within the therapeutic temperature range of 40‒45℃. Heat generation in magnetic hyperthermia mainly ascribes to hysteresis and/or relaxation loss from magnetic particles subjected to a high-frequency magnetic field.To date, magnetic hyperthermia applications capable of heating the affected part at a constant temperature while being minimally invasive in detecting the temperature and position of heating element are not established, thus the development of such systems are needed. So far, we are aiming to develop an induction heating system while monitoring the temperature and position of heating element. In previous studies, Mitobe et al. succeeded in developing a microsize thermosensitive ferromagnetic implant with low Curie temperature (FILCT) as a self-controlled heating element. FILCT was then coated with gold to improve its heating efficiency (Au Au-FILCT). Furthermore, a wireless temperature measurement method has been proposed to monitor the temperature of the tumor during treatment by using the implant as a thermal probe.The results obtained in this study are listed below.(1) Development of hyperthermia implant with high heating efficiency and high permeabilityThe previously developed Au-FILCT improved significantly the heating efficiency of FILCT (8 times), but part of the applied magnetic field was shielded ascribed to the conductive coating around FILCT. As a result, the change in the detected voltage induced in pickup coil (hereafter pickup voltage) was reduced by half, thereby the accuracy of our wireless thermometry was significantly lowered compared to that of FILCT. As an alternative approach to the gold coating, we proposed to mix FILCT with a high heating-efficient magnetic nanofluid. In the case of using a commercial nanofluid named Resovist® (MRI contrast agent), the heating efficiency of the proposed mixture of micro/nano-magnetic particles was improved 4.3 times, and the accuracy of the thermometry was improved 1.3 times compared to that of FILCT under a m agnetic field of 500 kHz, 4.95 kA/m. A similar tendency was obtained when using a lab-made nanofluid.(2) Development of localization technique of hyperthermia implantThe implant in the tumor cannot be seen from the body surface. When the implant deviates from the central axis of the magnetic field supply and detection unit composed of drive coil and pickup coil (MFSD unit), the magnetic flux density applied on the implant decreases, resulting in a decrease in its heating efficiency and the thermometry accuracy. To solve this problem, we devised a position adjustment method in which the central axis is aligned directly above the implant by referring to three voltages induced in three pickup coils symmetrically installed inside drive coil. Using the constructed position adjustment system, it was possible to automatically locate the position of the implant with accuracy below 1 mm by operating MFSD unit in two modes of coarse adjustment (rotary scanning) and fine adjustment (linear scanning).(3) Development of rotary scanning technique of body motion artifact reduction methodIt is considered that the relative position between MFSD unit and the implant is fluctuated due to the periodic physiological motions such as respiration and heartbeat induced artifact during treatment. Therefore, we cannot distinguish whether the change in pickup voltage is caused by the change in temperature of the implant around the therapeutic temperature, or by the change in distance between MFSD unit and the implant by the artifact. To overcome this problem, we proposed a body motion artifact reduction method by using rotary scanning technique on MFSD unit in a different period cycle from the periodic respiration and heartbeat. Using the difference in the frequency domain of spectral component of rotary scanning (signal) and that of the artifact (noise), only the target signal is extracted. Using the constructed verification system, we confirmed that regardless of the presence of the artifact, the change of the extracted power around the Curie point is sufficiently large to detect whether the temperature of the implant has reached the therapeutic temperature. In particular, in the case with the artifact the SN ratio for temperature measurement was ‒3.1 dB, whereas the SN ratio after reducing the artifact using the proposed method was enhanced significantly 38.7 dB.The thesis is composed of six chapters. In Chapter 1, we introduced the background and purpose of the research. Chapter 2 introduced the principle of hyperthermia such as its biological effects with respect to temperature, and heating methods used in hyperthermia. We then introduced the heating method used in this study named magnetic hyperthermia, and summarized the previous studies such as development of self-controlled heating mediator, wireless temperature measurement technique, and heating system for clinical application using the proposed wireless temperature measurement technique. In Chapter 3 to Chapter 5, we introduced the development and the obtained results from the evaluation experiments of (1) development of the implant of micro/nanomagnetic particles, (2) development of the automatic implant localization technique, and (3) development of the rotary scanning technique, respectively. Finally, we concluded the important results in this study and outlined future work in Chapter 6.

    <p>In this paper, we aim to build wireless temperature measurement induction heating system for hyperthermia using "Au-coated Ferromagnetic Implant with Low Curie Temperature (Au-FILCT)". Using this system we clarified the distance-dependent characteristic of voltage used for detecting temperature in heating process of Au-FILCT under high-frequency magnetic field applied. The tumor temperature is measurable utilizing the property in which the magnetism of Au-FILCT changes depending on its temperature. We measured the voltage and temperature of Au-FILCT, while placed at distances of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 cm from the top surface of the drive coil. We confirmed that the Au-FILCT was heated above the treatable temperature of 45℃ within 145.0 seconds up to the distance of 3.0 cm and the accuracy of voltage was improved with the S/N ratio 18.3 dB at 3.0 cm. In addition, the correlation of the voltage with either the temperature or distance was high. All the contribution ratios of their approximate expressions were above 0.97. We propose a method of estimating the temperature from the voltage measured even if the distance to the Au-FILCT is unknown, assuming the core body temperature is stable at about 37℃.</p>

    In hyperthermia treatment, the accurate temperature measurement of tumor region is vital to determine the therapeutic effectiveness of heating. Conventional methods require thermal probes to be inserted invasively into tumor region. However, by using Ferromagnetic Implant with Low Curie Temperature (FILCT) as thermal probe, we have developed a wireless temperature measurement method that can noninvasively measure the temperature of tumor region from outside of the body. To make the approach feasible in clinical settings, challenges remain when dealing with body motion artifact. When the material is injected into tumor region, the relative position between the magnetic field supply and detection (MFSD) unit and the material is supposed to fluctuate with periodic respiration and heartbeat. In physical experiments, the FILCT temperature cannot be detected, because the detection voltage was buried by the artifact noise (SN ratio=-3.1 dB). Hence, this study proposed a body motion artifact reduction method by rotating scanning the MFSD unit in a different period cycle from body motion. By extracting the power spectrum synchronized with the rotary scanning, we confirmed that regardless of presence of body motion, the change of the power around Curie point is sufficiently large to detect whether treatment temperature has been reached.

    Soft-heating method is one type of hyperthermia that necrotizes malignant tumors in cancer treatment by means of heat generated by a ferromagnetic material. The magnetic permeability of ferromagnetic particle decreases immediately when its temperature increases over the Curie point (43°C). Therefore, we can concurrently use the ferromagnetic particles as a thermal probe for wireless temperature measurement during hyperthermia treatment. A challenge remains when dealing with body movement artifact as the relative position between the detection coil and the material is fluctuated by breathing or beating of the heart. As a result, the accuracy of temperature detection decreases. In this report we suggest and verify the validity of the new inspection system for the body movement artifact removal by regularly circling a unit of the magnetic field supply coil and the detection coil around the upper surface of the tumor region.

    This project aims to develop a treatment system for magnetic hyperthermia, which is attracting worldwide attention as a next-generation of cancer treatment method. The results of this project are shown the following. (1) We succeeded in developing a simple automatic therapeutic temperature control system using PID. (2) We proposed a simple and rapid a localization method for magnetic particles injected in tumor region by using a figure-8 coil and its spatial linear scanning. (3) To develop high-performance magnetic particles suitable for magnetic hyperthermia, we newly synthesized magnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles, then evaluated their heating efficiency using a lab-made prototype treatment system and their AC/DC magnetization using SQUID-VSM.

    More details Close

    We have developed a method of magnetically induced hyperthermia for malignant tumor using thermosensitive ferromagnetic particles (FMPs) with low Curie temperature (Tc: a transition point at which magnetic materials lose of its magnetic properties, which causes a cessation of current and thus heat production) enough to mediate automatic temperature control. During this research period, we aimed to improve the accuracy of the wireless temperature measurement system, and result was that in the environment at 37 degree temperature the heat generation effect was confirmed to a depth of 5cm, which is sufficient for practical use. A key advantage of this hyperthermia system is that it is minimally invasive, requiring only a single injection for repeated treatments with automatic temperature control.
