DIATHERMY UNITS
Introduction
• When heat is applied, temperature of the tissue
increases
• Due to the dilation of blood vessels, the flow of blood
increases at that area
• Hot compressors, infra red lamp
• Hot towels, heat lamps and heating pads
DIATHERMY
Diathermy is the treatment process by which
cutting, coagulation of tissues are obtained.
In this method, the patient’s body become a
part of a electrical circuit, hence heat is
produced within the body instead of
transferring through skin.

TELEMETRY
• Telemetry is a technology that allows
remote measurement and transparent
conveyance of remote information.
BIO TELEMETRY
• Biotelemetry involves the application
of telemetry in the medical field to
remotely monitor various vital
signs of ambulatory patients.

RADIO TELEMETRY
• Most of the systems are involved with radio
transmission and reception of bio-signals.
• There are 2 types;
