5.3 Microwave therapy with circular-field radiator
The circular-field radiator, the so called distance radiator, is used for irradiation of body parts
with locally defined disease processes. Typical application areas are e.g. shoulder or knee
joint, jaw joint, lower arm carpal region, tenovaginitis, etc.
The proper treatment distance between radiator and body part should be about 10 cm. If
the distance is increased the set power output is distributed upon a larger area and thus
upon a larger body volume. This means that the power output meeting the affected body per
surface unit is decreased. By that also the yielded warmth is reduced.
