BACKGROUND Magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia therapy is a promising technology for cancer treatment, involving delivering magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) into tumours then activating them using an alternating magnetic field (AMF). The system produces not only a magnetic field, but also an electric field which penetrates normal tissue and induces eddy currents, resulting in unwanted heating of no...

Fusion of NDT techniques has proven to increase the capability and reliability of defect detection thus improve inspection results. It can also provide solution for the limitations posed by a single NDT technique in acquiring the intended information and so achieving the required inspection efficiency. Eddy current thermography is an emerging technology in advanced NDT, which provides and alter...

The paper presents two tools for teaching the basics of eddy current inspection. The first tool is a semi-quantitative simulation code showing the correspondence between probe action and signal behaviour. The student guides a virtual probe over a virtual workpiece with different defects. The measurement immediately appears in the normalized impedance plane. The second tool is a complete eddy cu...
