In the past 15 years there has been a dramatic increase in the number of radio frequency emission sources that have entered medical treatment areas. Personal computers, digital pagers, hand-held radios, cellular phones, and wireless input devices have all become more prevalent in the contemporary clinical environment. Because of the productivity gains these devices promise, it is unlikely that the use of electronic instrumentation and wireless technologies will diminish--in fact greater uses are projected. Along with the benefits these devices provide, they also create a greater opportunity for increased electromagnetic interference among devices. It is important that engineering and professional staff are aware of some of the complex interactions these devices can create. Managing this emerging problem should be a concern for the medical community. Engineering staff should be able to communicate effectively with medical staff, patients, and visitors regarding potential interactions and how to recognize them and mitigate their consequences.
在过去15年里，进入医疗区域的射频辐射源数量急剧增加。个人电脑、数字寻呼机、手持无线电设备、手机和无线输入设备在当代临床环境中都变得更加普遍。由于这些设备有望提高工作效率，电子仪器和无线技术的使用不太可能减少——事实上预计会有更多的应用。这些设备在带来好处的同时，也为设备之间增加电磁干扰创造了更多机会。工程和专业人员必须意识到这些设备可能产生的一些复杂相互作用。应对这个新出现的问题应该是医学界关注的问题。工程人员应该能够就潜在的相互作用以及如何识别和减轻其后果，与医务人员、患者和访客进行有效沟通。
