An SV-GMR Needle Sensor-Based Estimation of Volume Density of Magnetic Fluid inside Human Body

A spin-valve giant magneto-resistive (SV-GMR) sensor of needle-type configuration is reported to estimate the volume density of magnetic fluid inside human body. The magnetic fluid is usually injected into human body to kill cancerous cell using hyperthermia-based treatment. To control the...
