Electrophysiological Considerations Relevant to the Limiting of Pulsed Electric and Magnetic Fields

Electrophysiological Considerations Relevant to the Limiting of Pulsed Electric and Magnetic Fields The objective of the study was to theoretically examine the stimulation threshold of large myelinated axons and to use the results to formulate criteria for exposure limits of pulsed magnetic fields. The induced electric fields were calculated with a homogeneous tissue equivalent prolate spheroid. The stimulation level of the field was computed with the SENN model by using a folded axon with 2 mm separation for the Ranvier nodes. In the case of rectangular induced electric field pulses, the asymptotic stimulation level for electric field strength was 10 Vm http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Health Physics Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

The objective of the study was to theoretically examine the stimulation threshold of large myelinated axons and to use the results to formulate criteria for exposure limits of pulsed magnetic fields. The induced electric fields were calculated with a homogeneous tissue equivalent prolate spheroid. The stimulation level of the field was computed with the SENN model by using a folded axon with 2 mm separation for the Ranvier nodes. In the case of rectangular induced electric field pulses, the asymptotic stimulation level for electric field strength was 10 Vm
