2. Description of the Related Art Hyperthermia of this type (hyperthermia)
In the apparatus, the temperature of the affected area is measured during heating to heat the affected area at a predetermined temperature (target temperature). This target temperature must be decided at what degree the affected area is heated to before heating treatment is started.

【0003】一方、温熱治療では患部温度の測定は不可

On the other hand, the measurement of the temperature of the affected area is indispensable in hyperthermia treatment, but the temperature is not always measured, and the temperature is measured at a certain time interval (for example, 1 second or 2 seconds). (Hereinafter, this interval is referred to as a sampling cycle).

【0004】そして、サンプリング周期ごと測温を行

に制御している。図4はこの状態を示している。
Then, the temperature is measured for each sampling cycle, and if the measured temperature is lower than the target temperature, the operation of heating the affected area is performed, while if it is higher, the heating is stopped. In this way, the temperature of the affected area is controlled to be near the target temperature. FIG. 4 shows this state.

By the way, when the temperature measurement value is a low temperature relatively close to the target temperature as shown by point c in FIG. 4, the target temperature is exceeded during the next sampling period. Since it continues to be heated for a relatively long time, it will be far from the target temperature. Conversely, like point d in FIG.
If the measured temperature is a high temperature that is relatively close to the target temperature, even if the temperature falls below the target temperature during the next sampling cycle, the temperature remains unheated for a relatively long time, so it falls below the target temperature. Will end up. Moreover, this tendency becomes more remarkable as the points c and d are closer to the target temperature.

Inside the apparatus main body 1, an oscillator 2 that oscillates an electromagnetic wave, an affected area warming applicator 3, a reflux mechanism 4 that circulates cooling water to the applicator 3, and a temperature sensor that measures the temperature of the affected part of the living body ( For example, a temperature measuring unit 6 connected to a thermocouple (5) to obtain a temperature, a display unit 7, a control unit 8 for controlling these, an operation unit 9 for setting and operating the control unit 8 and inputting a target temperature. ing.

The basic control flow based on the function of the control unit 8 will be described below with reference to FIG. The target temperature and target range to be described later are set in advance by the operation unit 9, and the applicator 3 is inserted into the living body having the affected part and installed at a predetermined position. Upon receiving the start command, the temperature measuring unit 6 obtains the temperature of the affected part from the detection signal of the temperature sensor 5. And
The control unit 8 determines whether the temperature is higher or lower than the target temperature (for example, 43 ° C.) set before heating, turns the oscillator 2 off or on, and adjusts the heating output. That is, the output of the oscillator 2 is stopped when the temperature is higher than the target temperature, and the oscillator 2 is output when the temperature is lower than the target temperature.

Next, it is checked whether the measured temperature value is within the target range including the target temperature. It is determined whether or not the difference between the target temperature and the measured temperature value is within a certain value range. Here, the target range is a temperature in the vicinity of the target temperature, and as shown in FIG. 3, for example, a target upper temperature (44 ° C.) that is 1 ° C. higher than the target temperature and a target lower temperature (42 ° C.) that is 1 ° C. lower than the target temperature. ) Is the range sandwiched between. Then, when the actual temperature measurement value is within the target range, the sampling time is set to 1 second, and when it is outside the target range, the sampling time is set to 2 seconds, and the process waits until the next temperature measurement is performed.

FIG. 3 is a temperature transition of the heating control performed by such a control flow. The circles indicate that the temperature is being measured, of which the white circles indicate that heating continues and the black circles indicate that heating has stopped. For example, it is outside the target range immediately after the start of treatment or at point a. At point a, the sampling period is 2 seconds (T 1 ), whereas at point b in the target range, it is 1 second (T 2 ).

Generally, the longer the sampling period, the larger the temperature difference before and after the sampling period. Therefore, when it is within the target range, it becomes difficult to go out of the target range and out of the target by shortening the sampling period. Further, when the temperature is out of the target range, the sampling temperature is made long, so that the temperature rapidly approaches the target temperature.
As described above, by making the sampling cycle variable, the effect of more reliably controlling the temperature around the target temperature is produced.

On the contrary, it is conceivable that the sampling period is shortened and the period is lengthened within the range when it is outside the target range. According to this method, it is possible to obtain the effect of suppressing the influence of instantaneous noise.
