Abstract
An electrode for use in the treatment of animal tissue by hyperthermia particularly adapted for use in the neck regions wherein a planar field of energy is required so as to concentrate therapeutic energy in the area of a plane passing through the electrode with very little energy available to affect adjacent areas beyond close proximity to the plane of the electrode. In the preferred embodiment the electrode comprises disk segments of a conductive material disposed in overlapped relationship on either side of dielectric material to form conductive annular disks separated by dielectric material so as to be a single self-resonant loop.
