Abstract
A hyperthermia implantfor hyperthermia treatment of tissueof a human or animal body. The implant comprises at least one piece of a large Barkhausen jump material (LBJ) and a magnetic field may be applied to the implant to heat the surrounding tissue. The implant may also be deployed to mark a tissue site in the body for subsequent surgery, thereby providing a combined system for locating an implant and treating the surrounding area. The system includes a handheld probe 14 to excite the implant below the switching field for bistable switching causing a harmonic response to be generated in a sub-bistable mode that allows the implant to be detected and localised.
