Abstract
An induction coil and method for heating susceptors within a portion of a living body, include an effective diameter that is determined based on a cross-sectional area of the induction coil, a length determined along an axis of the induction coil that is orthogonal to the cross-sectional area, and a ratio of the length to the effective diameter that ranges between 0.25 and 0.75, such that a magnetic field is generated that ranges between 1 kA/m and 40 kA/m with an input frequency that ranges between 50 kHz and 1 MHz.
