Microwaves do not interfere with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), since these wave frequencies differ from each other. We have found that the microwaves have a special mechanism to fix living tissues around the temperature of 60 °C, and that the microwave device can be used as a surgical instrument under MRI. These characteristics have offered us a new horizon of the surgery under the MR monitor imaging. Thus, it is an evolution not only for the microwave devices but also for the microwave surgery (a surgery using microwave). Several new devices were developed, such as a bipolar tissue coagulator (fixer), scissors, a microwave knife, and a regional hyperthermia device. These new devices are introduced in this paper.
