Abstract
A system for providing hyperthermic treatment of tumerous tissue using a phased array antenna for focusing radio frequency (RF) energy on the tumorous tissue. A magnetic resonance system generating free induction decay (FID) signals from the tumorous tissue. The FID signals are used to determine the relative phase and amplitude of RF excitations which are to be transmitted by each element of the phase array antenna.
