On the mechanisms of interaction of low-intensity millimeter waves with biological objects

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

The interaction of low-intensity millimeter-band electromagnetic waves with biological objects is examined. These waves are widely used in medical practice as a means of physiotherapy for the treatment of various human disorders. Principal attention is given to the mechanisms through which millimeter waves act on the human organism.
