5.4 Microwave therapy with focus radiator
The focus radiator is determined for treating very tightly limited body parts. This kind of ra-
diator is preferably used for the head area (ENT etc.). During the treatment the radiator is to
lay upon the skin.
The focus radiator can only be used with a maximum output power of 25 W. The power limit
is granted by radiator identification.
Caution!
During treatment respect that the radiator must not be directed at eyes.
Patients should wear radiation protection goggles.
5.5 Microwave therapy with cradle radiator
The cradle radiator enables a comprehensive exposure to radiation of body parts of medium
and large diameter. This radiator has to be put generally direct on the application area. A
sufficient distance between radiator and the patient's body is already provided by its design.
By concentric penetration of the energy a higher depth effect can be reached imposing the
same strain to the skin.
5.6 Microwave therapy with long-field radiator
This radiator is used for irradiation of elongated parts of the body. The proper treatment
distance between radiator and body part should be about 5 cm.
