This report proposes an induction heating coil design that can be used for producing strong magnetic fields around ferromagnetic implants located in the cervix of uterus. The effect of coil design on the uniformity and extent of heat generation ability is inspected. Also, a numerical model of the applicator is developed that includes the ferromagnetic implants, and is coupled to the bioheat transfer model of the body tissue. Then, the ability of the proposed applicator for electromagnetic thermotherapy is investigated.
