- W2056420121 abstract "Electrotherapy equipment such as the Megapulse uses the application of short-duration pulses of electromagnetic energy for the treatment of damaged muscle and tissue. Operation of this type of equipment has been noticed to cause interference with nearby electrical and electronic systems, leading to concern among staff with regard to any possible corresponding health hazard. Details of the power outputs corresponding to different treatment settings are supplied by the manufacturers, but no information is provided about the distribution of that power around the Megapulse. This report details an investigation made into the distribution of the electromagnetic field surrounding operating Megapulse units, and of the field strength levels in adjacent areas. The levels measured were, in general, low when compared with the appropriate guide lines. Safety guide lines in the UK are however, currently based solely on thermal considerations, while the Megapulse is claimed to be athermal in its effect.

Biography:Andrew McDowell began as a medical physicist in 1986 in the calibration and maintenance of radiotherapy equipment at Southend Hospital, before taking up his present post at Poole General Hospital. He is currently involved in the measurement of non-ionising radiation, and in the design of electronic aids for the disabled. Michael Lunt started in medical physics in 1969 at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, before moving to Rotherham District General Hospital. He took up his present position as head of the East Dorset Medical Physics Department in 1986. Specific interests are in ultrasound and in the theory of pulsed magnetic field therapy." @default.
