[Levels of the electromagnetic field in the vicinity of therapeutic devices using radiofrequency and microwaves].
The paper presents the results of an analysis made on the electromagnetic field levels around RF and MW equipment used for medical purposes to achieve induced thermogenesis in body areas affected by disease. An irradiation diagram was constructed for some of the most widely used devices in clinical practice and measurements were made on RF devices to identify the influence of obstacles in determining electric field levels, such as accessories or persons present in the working environment. Electric field and power density levels were checked, as can be measured at a distance of 100 cm at identical selected power during a typical "lumbar-dorsal spine" treatment using different types of RF and MW devices, to identify the different degree of electromagnetic pollution that each of the devices causes.
