A method and a system for thermally or hyperthermally treating an object. A precipitating hydrophobic injectable liquid (PHIL) embolic agent is prepared and enhanced with a magnetic nanoparticle (NP). A delivery device is advanced to a target area and the PHIL−IONP embolic agent is injected directly at the target area.
