  • Abstract
    As long ago as 1882 D´Arsonval predicted that electricity would be used widely in the treatment of disease. Today that prediction has been fulfilled — indeed, exceeded — because electricity now plays a highly important part not only in the treatment of disease but also in its detection and diagnosis. A few of the manifold electromedical applications are described here.
