Abstract
A non-invasive thermal ablation method is provided for heating a lesion area using a non-invasive thermal ablation device. The non-invasive thermal ablation method includes: generating a time-varying magnetic field in a lesion area including a liquid metal using a magnetic field-generating element of the non-invasive thermal ablation device to heat the lesion area. In addition, a non-invasive thermal ablation device for the method is also provided.
