{{short description|Medical applications of radiating waves}}Medical applications of radio frequency (RF) energy, in the form of radiating waves or electrical currents, exist for over 75 years,[1] generally for minimally invasive surgeries using radiofrequency ablation including the treatment of sleep apnea.[2] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses radio frequency waves to generate images of the human body.[3]

Radio frequencies at non-ablation energy levels are commonly used as a part of aesthetic treatments that can tighten skin, reduce fat by lipolysis and also apoptosis,[4] or promote healing.[5]

RF diathermy is a medical treatment that uses RF induced heat as a form of physical therapyand in surgical procedures. It is commonly used for muscle relaxation. It is also a method of heating tissue electromagnetically for therapeutic purposes in medicine. Diathermy is used in physical therapy to deliver moderate heat directly to pathologic lesions in the deeper tissues of the body. Surgically, the extreme heat that can be produced by diathermy may be used to destroy neoplasms, warts, and infected tissues, and to cauterize blood vessels to prevent excessive bleeding. The technique is particularly valuable in neurosurgery and surgery of the eye. Diathermy equipment typically operates in the short-wave radio frequency (range 1–100 MHz) or microwave energy (range 434–915 MHz).{{cn}

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) is a medical treatment that purportedly helps to heal bone tissue reported in a recent NASA study. This method usually employs electromagnetic radiation of different frequencies - ranging from static magnetic fields, through extremely low frequencies (ELF) to higher radio frequencies (RF) administered in pulses.{{cn|date=February 2019}}
