SPECiFiCATiONS Intelect® Shortwave 400 dESCriPTiON OF FuNCTiONS (CONTiNuEd) Shortwave Therapy in the Capacitor (Dielectric) Field With the capacitive field method, the body part being treated is located in the high-frequency electric field between two insulated electrodes. The body and the electrodes together form a capacitor. -
Page 31: Shortwave Therapy In The Inductive Field
SPECiFiCATiONS Intelect® Shortwave 400 dESCriPTiON OF FuNCTiONS (CONTiNuEd) Shortwave Therapy in the Induction Field The inductive field produces the high-frequency electric currents within the body tissue by means of induction. The high-frequency circuit of closed currents occurring in the tissue as a result of induction are referred to as eddy currents. The density of these eddy currents, which is important for the warming effect, is proportional to the electrical conductivity of the tissue. -
