2. INTRODUCTION.
o Electromagnetics = Electricity + Magnetics
o A great deal of modern technology depends
upon the advent electromagnetics waves.
o Radio, television, mobile phones and the
Internet rely on the transmission of radio
frequency EMR through air, space or fiber
optic cables.
o The lasers used to record and play DVDs
and audio CDs use light waves to write to
and read from the discs.
o Its breakthrough in medicine and
telecommunication application happens to
be the greatest achievement of all
3. ELECTROMAGNETICS IN MODERN MEDICINE
Electromagnetics intervention in medicine has achieved a breakthrough in aspects where
conventional medicine failed such as:
Detection of internal medical problems in the body such as broken bones and fractures
Early detection of cancer
Location and treatment of Cancer and Tumours
Treatment of Hyperthermia
Monitoring of Patients in coma or intensive care units
Diagnosis and treatment of Epilepsy and Brain failure
Electrocardiography and Electroencephalography
4. o A Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) machine
o A mobile X-ray Machine o A soft X-ray and
Mammography Machine
SOME ELECTROMAGNETICS EQUIPMENTS IN
MODERN MEDICINE
5. ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY
This is the most current electromagnetic advancement in
modern medicine
It is the measure of electrical activity in the body through
the scalp which is used to detect issues such as:
• Brain failure
• Epileptic seizures
• Psychiatric syndromes
• Prognosis in patients who are in a state of coma
6. MEDICAL WIRELESS IMPLANTS
it is a minute transmitting device to be planted inside the body of humans
It helps in getting details of patient who are in coma or maybe, unable to talk
it is used solely for transmitting current up-to date information of its carrier such
as
Blood group
Age and
other required medical information
7. ELECTROMAGNETICS IN COMMUNICATION
The discovery of electromagnetic waves has made Communication easier and less tedious
Wireless communication has taken over in almost all available aspects
Electromagnetic waves made it easier to send information over long distance through space
Electromagnetic waves are used in the following aspects of telecommunication:
Radio waves
Amplitude and Frequency Modulation
Radar Technology
Microwave Communication
Telemetry
8. A radio wave antenna for receiving
information from outer space
A Radar antenna for sending and
receiving information
A Base Transceiver Station equipment
used in encoding and decoding
information to be sent and received
SOME ELECTROMAGNETICS COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENTS
Telecommunication equipments include antennas, satellite receivers and so on
They are used to send and receive information through electromagnetic waves in
space
9. • Some antennas used for sending and receiving electromagnetic signals
• Telemetry; which is an automatic process of making measurements from a remote location and
transmitting those measurements to receiving equipment also utilizes these antennas.
10. • Electromagnetics has successfully made life easier in the area of modern medicine and communications due to its contribution
in aspects like:
• Satellite Communication
• TV and mobile Communication
• Wireless Communication
• Microwave Communication
• Bio-medical systems
• Radiation therapy
• Remote sensing radars
• Radio astronomy radars
• And many more
• Electromagnetics has therefore helped in increasing in life expectancy, easier communication, reduced mortality rate etc.
CONCLUSION
11. Faraday Maxwell Hertz
APPRECIATION
Credits should be given to scientist such as Michael Faraday, James Clark Maxwell and
Heinreich Rudolf Hertz for their breakthrough researches in electromagnetics thus creating a
bedrock for modern medicine and communications
