Abstract
The applicator used in this invention functions as an antenna for delivering electromagnetic energy into a living body. The applicator is supported by a supporting mechanism through a supporting device. The applicator can move to and stop at a position through the action of this supporting mechanism. A cooling section is provided on the contact surfaces of the applicator and the living body so as to protect normal cells on the surface of living body. This cooling section is additionally provided with a coolant circulating device, which enables to continuously perform hyperthermia for a long period of time. The coolant circulating device has a pressure reducing mechanism to counter the fluctuations in fluidal pressure, and further, provided with a deaerating device for preventing the air from stagnating therein. Furthermore, in the heating apparatus for hyperthermia as disclosed in this invention, the supporting mechanism, and electromagnetic wave producing source and a general control section are separate from one another, thereby facilitating the use of the apparatus.
