Zusammenfassung:A system and method for therapeutic agent conveyance using configurable magnetic field includes a field generating workstation. The workstation includes at least one, generally a pair of, magnet subassemblies. Each subassembly is rotationally mounted on a rotation axis to orientate the subassembly poles. A rotatable yoke supports each subassembly and the yoke axis is offset from each subassembly rotation axis. Yoke rotation configures a collective system magnetic field. The method aligns the yoke axis with a user selected region within a subject, introduces a plurality of magnetic materials and associated therapeutic agents into the subject; orientates each magnet subassembly at a specific angular location and configures the workstations magnetic field whereby the plurality of magnetic materials and associated therapeutic agents are influenced by the magnetic field to either be simultaneously conveyed towards the user-selected region from multiple directions or simultaneously conveyed away from a user-selected region in multiple directions.
