Effects of GSM microwaves, pulsed magnetic field, and temperature on fractal dimension of brain tumors. (English) Zbl 1048.92018
Summary: Fractal dimension of two-dimensional C-6 rat glioma tumors growing in the microwave field generated by signal simulation of the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) with frequency 960 MHz was found significantly enhanced as compared with field free tumors growing at different temperatures and on the other hand a strong pulsed magnetic field lowered fractal dimension of tumors.
