Intracellular thermal ablation using nano-particle electron spin resonance heating

摘要

This invention pertains to the use of spin resonance absorption heating as a therapeutic treatment method wherein electron spin resonance absorption of superparamagnetic (SPM) nanoparticles can be used as an intracellular heating method, more preferably as an in vivo heating method that can be utilized in a variety of therapeutic contexts and can further allow for resonance imaging and internal thermometry.
