Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

"Bioelectromagnetics?the study of how electric and magnetic fields interact with the body?is a tremendously exciting field. Electromagnetic (EM) fields are all around us: radio and television signals, cellular telephones, fields from power lines and electrical appliances, radar, and more. They are even within our bodies in the endogenous fields that keep our hearts beating, brains thinking, and muscles moving. EM fields can be used to see inside of us to diagnose illness, sometimes before we feel it ourselves, in the form of medical imaging, electrocardiography, electroencephalography, and electrophysiological evaluations. They can heal us through therapeutic interventions for cancer, pain control, bone growth, soft tissue repair, electrophysiological stimulation, and more. And they can injure or kill us through lightning strikes, deep electrical burns, and shock.

EM fields are already used in numerous medical devices, and the future  promises ever more detailed and localized diagnostic and treatment methods. EM fields may soon help repair or replace damaged nerve pathways. Already, they help the blind to see, the deaf to hear, and the paralyzed to walk again. The promise of bioelectromagnetics seems limited only by our imaginations. However, the promise of bioelectromagnetics is very much limited by the physical nature of the fields themselves and how they can be made to interact with the body." From: Basic Introduction to Bioelectromagnetic. Third Edition. James R. Nagel, Cynthia M. Furse, Douglas A. Christensen, and Carl H. Durney. CRC Press

The purpose of this class is to help you understand EM fields and how they interact with the body, how they are created, how they can be measured and evaluated. We also study Applications of EM Fields
