  • Publication number: 20150364288
    Abstract: A radiation generating apparatus includes a target base, a target, an electronic beam generating device, a tube, a tank, and a porous structure. The target is disposed on the target base. The electronic beam generating device is adapted to generate an electronic beam, and the electronic beam is emitted to the target to generate a radiation. The tube accommodates the target and the electronic beam generating device. The tank is connected to the target base and accommodates the tube. The porous structure is roundly disposed between the tank and the tube and contacts an inner wall of the tank and an outer wall of the tube. A cooling fluid flows through the porous structure to dissipate the heat of the porous structure.

  • Publication number: 20140350538
    Abstract: A coil-integrated pad assembly for inductively heating a hyperthermia needle device includes a barrier pad and an electromagnetic unit. The barrier pad is adapted to be inserted into a patient's body and to be placed between the hyperthermia needle device and a non-target tissue of the patient's body when the hyperthermia needle device penetrates a target tissue. The electromagnetic unit has a coil that is at least partially disposed in the barrier pad and that is electrifiable to generate a magnetic field sufficient to inductively heat the hyperthermia needle device.

  • Publication number: 20140188047
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a thermotherapy needling instrument with tissue injection, including: a casing, an outer needle, an inner needle and a working needle. The casing has an inlet, an outlet and an inner channel. The outer needle is connected to the casing, and is in communication with the inner channel. The inner needle is disposed in the inner channel of the casing and the outer needle, and the inner needle has at least one opening The at least one opening is in communication with the inner channel so that the cooling agent flows in circulation. The working needle is connected to the outer needle so as to receive the injectant for injection and tissue ablation. By using the thermotherapy needling instrument, when sampling or injection is required during thermotherapy, the injection efficacy can be achieved by withdrawing the inner needle only. Therefore, efficacy of tissue injection and ablation thermotherapy can be achieved.
