Description
ここで、図1を参照して、肝臓10は、腫瘍12を含む可能性があり、この腫瘍12について、障害14が、2つの傘型電極アセンブリ16aおよび16bを使用して本発明により生成される。2つの傘型電極アセンブリ16aおよび16bは、後述するようにわずかな変更を有する。各電極アセンブリ16aおよび16bは、細い管状金属シャフト18aおよび18bを有する。金属シャフト18aおよび18bは、経皮的に肝臓10に挿入されるサイズにされている。シャフト18aおよび18bはそれぞれ、シャフト先端20aおよび20bで終端する。このシャフト先端20aおよび20bからは、ワイヤ32から形成される3叉電極22aおよび22bが突出する。シャフト18aおよび18bが、肝臓10内に適切に配置されると、ワイヤ32は、本体の外側に残っているプランジャ24によって広げられる。ワイヤ32は、広げられると、シャフト先端20aおよび20bの周りにほぼ等しい角度で分かれて半径方向に広がることにより突出する。ワイヤ32が限界まで露出した形は、ワイヤ32が、シャフト18aおよび18bから広げられた時に、自然に、放射状に外側に開くような弓形に事前に形成されている。シャフト18aおよび18bは、軸方向が平行に示されているが、これは必要ではなく、他の向きを使用することもできる。
次に図9を参照して、多重単極システム70が、電力出力72を有する電力発振器28を提供する。電力出力72の無線周波信号は、単極双投スイッチ74の極に接続される。スイッチ74は、好ましくは20キロヘルツを越えるレートで切り替わる、当該技術において既知の技法による半導体スイッチとして実施されることが好ましいが、これに限定されるものではない。
