These were limited to frequencies of 0.1-2 MHz, called " longwave " diathermy.
12.
Short wave diathermy can also be used for hyperthermia therapy, as an adjuvant to radiation in cancer treatment.
13.
In some instances short wave diathermy may be applied to localize deep inflammatory processes, as in pelvic inflammatory disease.
14.
Hyperthermia induced by microwave diathermy raises the temperature of deep tissues from 41 �C to 45 �C using electromagnetic power.
15.
He attached electrodes from a deep brain stimulator and zapped the skull with the radio waves that MRIs and diathermy emit.
16.
She had been receiving an aggressive form of diathermy that employed X-ray machines, which can induce iatrogenic complications.
17.
Ultrasound diathermy generates heat deep within body tissues to help with contractures, pain and muscle spasms as well as decrease inflammation.
18.
Microwave diathermy treatment at 434 and 915 MHz can be effective in the short-term management of musculo-skeletal injuries.
19.
Diathermy is commonly used for muscle relaxation, and as a method of heating tissue electromagnetically or ultrasonically for therapeutic purposes in medicine.
20.
Short wave diathermy operations use the ISM band frequencies of 13.56, 27.12, and 40.68 megahertz.
