Electromagnetic field propagation simulation概要：現代の先端医療は高度医療機器を多用する。これら機器は情報通信技術を駆使する。医療機器は微弱な生体信号を取扱うものがある一方で、強力な磁場を用いる機器もある。さらに、無線LANおよび無線音声通信は臨床において有用である。
近年、医療機器と無線通信機器の電磁的両立性(EMC)が向上し医療関係者の懸念は縮小しつつある。しかし実際には医療安全と情報保護の確保のためには、病院内の機器が発する電磁波の放射と侵入の両方について検討し制御する必要がある。
この問題は電磁遮蔽技術による電磁界制御により解決可能である。ただしこれを実現するためには、医療従事者、通信技術者、構造工学者、材料工学者等相互の学際的な協力が必要である。
また病院内での無線通信の安全な使用を保証するために、EMCを改善し、医療従事者への電磁界制御に関する情報を周知することが必要である。抄録：Modern clinical medicine uses a wide variety of highly technical medical devices on which advanced medicine
increasingly relies. These devices often use internet and communication technology. Some medical devices pick up
weak biomedical signals and others function by generating a powerful magnetic field. Wireless LAN and wireless voice
communication are useful in clinical settings.
Because of the recent availability of technical reports and our educational efforts to show that medical devices and
wireless communication apparatus are safe and compatible, there is reduced anxiety among medical professionals and
thus demand is increasing for technically advanced systems. For safety and security reasons, it is necessary to prevent
both the radiation of strong electromagnetic waves from apparatus inside the hospital and to block the invasion of
electromagnetic waves from outside. These problems can be solved by the use of electromagnetic shielding technology.
The above are all related to the necessity of controlling electromagnetic fields. At present, adequate techniques for the
control of the fields commonly found in medical settings have not been established. The best results will be attained
if collaboration is done with people from the variety of fields working on or who will work on the project, such as those
involved in material, architectural, and structural engineering, as well as the medical staff.
In order to insure the safe use of wireless communications in medical settings it will be necessary to improve the
EMC standards and to disseminate information about electromagnetic field control to the medical staff. To insure safety
and meet the needs of this rapidly changing environment, electromagnetic field control techniques must be established
and constantly improved to meet the requirements of the environment in which medical devices are used. To achieve
this, interdisciplinary collaboration is indispensable.英語フィールド
