ELECTROMAGNETICS: The bedrock of Communication and Modern Medicine

INTRODUCTION.

o Electromagnetics = Electricity + Magnetics

o A great deal of modern technology depends upon the adventelectromagnetics waves.

o Radio, television, mobile phones and the Internet rely on thetransmission of radio frequency EMR through air, space or fiber opticcables.

o The lasers used to record and play DVDs and audio CDs use lightwaves to write to and read from the discs.

o Its breakthrough in medicine and telecommunication applicationhappens to be the greatest achievement of all



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

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



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



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



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

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



• 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.



CONCLUSION

• 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.
