What is the Role of Magnets in Medicine? Magnet MRI Medicine
The role of magnets in diagnosing and treating cancerReferences Magnets are defined as substances that can generate a magnetic field. Magnetic fields in modern medicine are widespread due to their physical and chemical properties. As such, there are many uses of magnets in medical applications that range from the use of magnets for retention to their use in brain surgery as a guide for catheters.
However, they suffer a drawback as they cannot be used to inform therapeutic decisions about the effect of a specific treatment regimen in relation to a patient's unique tumor biology. Regarding future decision-making, biologically sensitive Imaging techniques can capture the physiology and geometry of tumors.
Several magnetic products are available and marketed with claims of effectiveness for reducing pain. However, there is a paucity of research investigating the ability of magnets to alleviate pain successfully. Specifically, MNPs are used in hyperthermia treatment, which is an irreversible thermal targeting of cancer cells due to increasing the local temperature of tissue through heat induction. Magnetic hyperthermia is a new cancer treatment; an alternating magnetic field is used to produce heat in suspensions of MNPs in the body. This is efficacious as cancerous cells are predisposed to hypothermia relative to normal cells as their lowered pH results in reduced tolerance to heat .
