  • Patent number: 7524276
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for therapeutic treatment of a patient with magnetic fields, in particular with nuclear magnetic resonances. One object is to provide an apparatus for treatment of a patient with magnetic fields, which in particular allows localized treatment, for example in the head area of the patient, which treatment places as little load as possible on the patient and can be used in a space-saving manner. A further aim is for the apparatus to have the capability to be flexibly matched to the anatomy of the patient and/or of the debilitation. The apparatus has a rest and at least one first cantilever arm (4B), which projects out of the plane defined by the rest (1C), with a device (30B) being arranged on the first cantilever arm (4B) in order to produce the first magnetic treatment field. The apparatus is particularly preferably in the form of a treatment stool or seat.

  • Patent number: 6558311
    Abstract: An apparatus for treatment of a portion of a biological body with magnetic fields having a device adapted for producing spin resonances for treatment within a portion of the biological body to be treated. The apparatus includes a magnet for producing a magnetic field, a coil system for producing a magnetic alternating field at right angles to the magnetic field, control electronics for actuation of the magnet and the coil system adapted to produce nuclear spin resonance in at least a portion of a biological body, and a device for repeated actuation of the control electronics to produce a defined sequence of nuclear spin resonances. The sequence of nuclear spin resonances produced by the device is determined by the spin-lattice relaxation time T1 of at least one portion of the biological body, and has a repetition rate of approximately 3T1.
