Abstract:
1. An RF diathermy coil assembly, comprising: a patient-conforming garment; a primary coil, including a plurality of windings, the primary coil being connectable to a power source lead and being incorporated into the patient-conforming garment; a secondary coil including a plurality of windings, the secondary coil being disposed proximate the primary coil and being incorporated into the patient-conforming garment, at least one of the primary coil and secondary coil establishing an RF field, wherein at least one of the patient-conforming garment, the primary coil and the secondary coil, define a passage for receiving a body part therein; and a tuner, coupled to at least the secondary coil for tuning the RF field to the resonant frequency of the body part disposed within the passage for receiving the body part therein, wherein the primary coil, the secondary coil, or both further comprise a non-conductive elastic deformable core.
