Abstract
Equipment is presented which uses electromagnetic conversion into heat when biological tissue is exposed to non-ionizing radiations. It is an electronic system design which may be used for some types of lesions of animal tissue. We discuss some applications and the biological fundamentals of temperature elevation in cancer tumours with respect to healthy tissues
