ABSTRACT:
Apparatus (40) for generating a localized magnetic field inside a body of a living subject (44) includes first and second electromagnets (46,48), adapted to be positioned in proximity to the body so as to apply magnetic fields thereto. The core (50) of at least one of the electromagnets has a shape that can be altered under control of an operator of the apparatus so as to adjust the magnetic fields to assume a desired relation within the body.
