Abstract

We generalize the results of study of the application of ferromagnetic particles in medicine. Metallic iron, iron oxides, and also ferrites with different structures and others are used. It has been established that it is advantageous to use very fine iron particles with particle size 0.1–0.25 μm and a combination of physicochemical and biomedical properties.
