Patent ID: 7022506

Claim:
A method of treating diseased tissue in a human through the application of a specific and selective electric or electromagnetic field to the diseased tissue in the human, comprising the steps of: a. determining the voltage and current output that provides the treatment of diseased tissue in an animal model corresponding to the diseased tissue of the human; b. determining the total tissue volume of the diseased tissue in the animal model; c. determining the total tissue volume of the diseased tissue of the human; d. determining conductivities of the diseased tissue of the human between at least two electrodes; e. scaling the voltage and current output used in the animal model based on the anatomic size and the ratio of the total tissue volume of the diseased tissue of the human to the anatomic size and the total tissue volume of the diseased tissue in the animal model; and f. applying the scaled voltage and current to the diseased tissue of the human.
