Optimized tissue heating by adopting high frequency electrotherapy

Abstract

We have developed an electronics circuit that generates a high voltage with a frequency of 0.3–2 MHz to build an electro therapy system that can optimize tissue heating characteristics. These characteristics are used in medical applications. This paper is focused on the analysis of high frequency electro-therapy system to optimize tissue heating with the help of a high voltage pulse signal, which peak voltage is almost 2 kV. This optimized tissue heating between the inner tissue and the thermal distributions has examined in terms of frequency and voltage. The target tissue heating is composed of a single electrode in an experiment that has especially conducted to find the tissue heating characteristics. In the end, a new method for electro-therapy is developed, which is applicable to a specific tissue depth.
