Abstract:
Magnetic hyperthermia is an alternative to conventional one for cancer treatment, which damages malignant cells by controlling treatment temperature to an acceptable range. The treatment temperature distribution mainly depends on both magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) distribution inside malignant tissue and the heat released by the MNPs after subjecting to an alternating magnetic field. The spatial distribution of MNPs inside malignant tissue is strongly affected by many factors studied and to be studied, which can be injection rate, injection time, injection dose, the pinhole size of syringe, and also diffusion time. Contrary to traditional injection with high rate (50 ul/min), this study proposes three injection strategies with low rate (5 ul/min) for nanofluid injection including continuous injection with constant rate, continuous injection with variable rate, and intermittent injection with constant rate under the same nanofluid dose (0.3 ml). All these injection strategies are proposed in order to obtain better nanofluid concentration distribution and further improve the treatment temperature distribution and the thermal damage situation for the malignant tissue. Simulation results show that all these proposed injection strategies, especially the continuous injection with variable rate, can effectively improve the physical field distribution for the nanofluid concentration, the treatment temperature, and the thermal damage situation inside malignant tissue.
