Magneto-Fluid Hyperthermia (MFH) is a clinical treatment of cancer that exploits a magnetic nano-fluid to heat pathological tissues by means of a time-harmonics magnetic field: nanoparticles injected in cells cultured in a Petri dish are subject to the external field and heat. The optimal design of an inductor has been developed by resorting to a migration-assisted NSGA (M-NSGA) strategy. M-NSGA results are compared with the ones obtained using NSGA-II and two others modified NSGA algorithms. One version of NSGA includes a Design Of Experiment (DOE) step that generates a set of individuals which will be included in the initial population. The primary goal is to identify the inductor geometry generating a uniform magnetic field inside the Petri dish that contains the magnetic fluid. © 2016 - IOS Press and the authors.

Abstract

Magneto-Fluid Hyperthermia (MFH) is a clinical treatment of cancer that exploits a magnetic nano-fluid to heat pathological tissues by means of a time-harmonics magnetic field: nanoparticles injected in cells cultured in a Petri dish are subject to the external field and heat. The optimal design of an inductor has been developed by resorting to a migration-assisted NSGA (M-NSGA) strategy. M-NSGA results are compared with the ones obtained using NSGA-II and two others modified NSGA algorithms. One version of NSGA includes a Design Of Experiment (DOE) step that generates a set of individuals which will be included in the initial population. The primary goal is to identify the inductor geometry generating a uniform magnetic field inside the Petri dish that contains the magnetic fluid. © 2016 - IOS Press and the authors.
