THE ABSORPTION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY IN BODY TISSUES: A Review and Critical Analysis

Herman P. Schwan, Geo. Morris Piersol · 1954

The authors classify biological effects of high-frequency currents and radiation into thermal, specific thermal, and nonthermal categories, and state that nonthermal effects cannot withstand criticism. They report that selective heating of microscopic particles such as bacteria or cells is not possible because the temperature rise is less than 1/1000°C, and selective heating only occurs for particles at least 1 mm in diameter. The review finds that fatty tissue is heated more than muscle at all practical current therapy frequencies up to about 100 Mc. It also calculates that a coupling medium with a dielectric constant of about 65 can reduce reflection losses to about 7 per cent at 1000 Mc.
