| Zusammenfassung: | Apparatus and methods for treating body tissue by heat energy. The apparatus includes: a coil for transmitting an alternating electrical current therethrough to generate an alternating electromagnetic field that is capable of exciting material positioned in the body, the material being operative to inductively generate the heat energy in response to the electromagnetic field; means for measuring an amplitude of the current; and means for mapping the amplitude into a temperature of the magnetic material. |
