Effect of Pulse Magnetic Field Stimulus on Blood Flow using Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging  

Lee, Hyun-Sook (Department of Oriental Biomedical Engineering, Sangji University)
Abstract
The changes in the blood flow in the peripheral vascular system under strong pulsed magnetic fields (pMF) were studied by digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI). After pMF stimulus temperatures in stimulated area were commonly increased in both groups of age and gender. In order to reduce heat generated from coil in pMF stimulus system plastic moldings were fabricated, so that certain distance was kept between stimulus system and the skin and to prevent direct contact to the skin. It is believed that skin temperature is increased by internal electromagnetic energy stimulated the peripheral vascular system by non-contact method.
