Abstract
According to one aspect, an interstitial hyperthermia device has an electrode structure to be coupled to an electric power source for providing an alternating electric field for heating up a patients tissue. The device is provided with a hollow source guide for conducting a radiation source capsule to be moved by a guidewire. The hollow source guide has an inner wall for guiding the source capsule and an outer wall to be contacted with the patients tissue. The outer wall is provided with the electrode structure arranged on a circumference of the outer wall of the hollow source guide and having a dielectric layer shielding the electrode structure from the patients tissue.
