Abstract
Conventional treatments for cancer include surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. These methods are not necessarily effective in all cancers and each has its own side effects, and researchers are now looking for other ways to fight cancer. According to studies in this field, new methods of cancer treatment include nano drug delivery and hyperthermia using magnetic nanoparticles. Studies show that using nano drug delivery knowledge, the drug works only in the affected area and does not cause complications in healthy areas of the body. By using these methods, drugs can be delivered accurately and quickly to target tissues. Also, in hyperthermia, a fluid containing magnetic nanoparticles is injected directly or through the vein system into the target tissue, and an alternating magnetic field generated by magnetic coil (such as Helmholtz Coil) is applied to the target area and the magnetic nanoparticles emit heat. The heat produced increases the temperature of the tissue and destroys the desired cells by increasing the temperature above 42°C. In this article, we survey the Helmholtz coil and designing and manufacturing a new coil to create a homogeneous magnetic field and build a magnetic field measuring sensor to measure the magnetic field flux produced by the new coil.
