Abstract:
Method and apparatus for determining local impedance factors in an electromagnetic energy system (10) for treating patients is disclosed. Respective measureme signals are sent through a patient treatment zone (12) and a local impedance factor is estimated based upon the measurement signals. The estimated impedance factor is used to determine appropriate therapeutic levels of energy for patient treatment.
