What is an accurate statement regarding the heat generated via induction field diathermy?
A) The amount of heat depends only on the strength of the magnetic field.
B) Increasing the distance between the source of the electromagnetic field and the tissue will increase the heating.
C) Heat is produced via the dipole effect.
D) Increased adipose tissue thickness will reduce the rate and magnitude of heating.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Induction field diathermy produces heat via the conversion of electromagnetic energy into thermal energy in living tissues. The amount of adipose tissue in the area being treated affects the rate and amount of heating, with thicker adipose layers reducing both. The distance between the source of the electromagnetic field and the tissue being treated has no impact on the heating, and heat is not produced via the dipole effect.
