This technical report is related with the survey contents at Investigating R&D Committee of Seeds Technologies to Medical Treatment in Magnetic Applications, JIEE. The committee has investigated the seeds technology to the new medical treatment by progress of a magnetic material, a permanent magnet, and a magnetic sensor, the research of a magnetic effect to living body, etc., and launched it for the purpose of providing as new medical technology.
We summarized the report according to the following seven issues,
(1) Magnetic stimulation in medical technology
(2) Magnetic technology in measurement of biological function
(3) Magnetic applications for bio-sensing technique
(4) Medical applications of magnetic actuator technology
(5) Medical applications of magnetic shielding technology
(6) Magnetic technology in transmission of electric energy and signal into body
(7) Safety guideline of magnetic fields in medical devices
In the Investigating R&D Committee, we acquired a trend and knowledge about the bio-measurement and medical applications with the seeds technology and equipment to medical treatment, and the information on the guideline of the magnetic use. Although the seeds technology of magnetics to medical treatment was investigated as mentioned above, it is important to make it develop at the medical spot, and the further investigation is expected based upon these investigations.
