OPTIMIZING CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ELECTRIC FIELD TO INCREASE THE FIELD'S EFFECT ON PROLIFERATING CELLS

摘要

An apparatus or method for applying a therapeutic electric field to a target region of a patient, comprising: an AC signal generator (41) that generates an electric field; and a control signal generator (43, 44) that cyclically changes the direction of the electric field between a first direction for a first period of time (tl) and a second direction for a second period of time (t2).
