Temperature increase induced by modulated electrohyperthermia (oncothermia®) in the anesthetized pig liver.

AIM OF STUDY: Is to show the intrahepatic temperature development in anesthetized pig.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Temperature development in the liver of anesthetized pig is measured to study the thermal effects of capacitive coupled energy transfer. The treatment was made by modulated electrohyperthermia (mEHT, trade name: oncothermia ®), controlled by a fluoroptical temperature sensing positioned by the ultrasound-guided process. Various fits of coupling were studied.

RESULTS: The intrahepatic temperature at the end of the treatment ranged 40.5-44.8°C, while the skin temperature ranged 36.8-41.8°C depending on the coupling arrangement.

CONCLUSION: mEHT is a feasible method to deliver deep heat to the liver of an anesthetized pig.
