Fig. 7: Ex vivo demonstration directly utilising heat energy for hyperthermia.

A Ultrasound guided robot operating inside an ex vivo porcine small intestine with a simulated tumour. Small intestine is filled with DI water. (B) Representative fluorescence images of RF exposed HT-29 tumour spheroids stained with calcein-AM/ethidium homodimer−1 after 24 h of incubation. C Viability of HT-29 tumour spheroids after different durations of RF exposure (n = 3). Three spheroids were independently tested once for the experiments.
