The ability to accurately estimate magnetic nanoparticles inside small areas of the body provides an advantage in hyperthermia therapy, a form of cancer treatment. This paper concentrates on a novel giant magnetoresistance (GMR) needle-type sensor to detect and estimate low concentration magnetic fluid inside minute agar cavities injected with magnetic fluid. Theoretical analysis, experimental results and information on the fabricated GMR needle-type sensor are reported. The experimental results show a favorable agreement to the analytical analysis, supporting the potential use of the GMR needle-type sensor in hyperthermia therapy., Asia-Pacific Symposium on Applied Electromagnetics and Mechanics (APSAEM08)}, pages = {63--66}, title = {Novel GMR Sensor for Estimation of Magnetic Nanoparticles inside Minute Cavities}, volume = {17}, year = {2009} }
