| Description |
English: British Help American Wounded- Rehabilitation and Treatment, UK, 1944 A serviceman undergoes short wave diathermy treatment in a mesh cubicle or 'cage' at a hospital somewhere in Britain. Short wave diathermy is the application of radio waves around of 50-100 MHz frequency to the body to induce deep heat in tissues, used as part of physiotherapy, which can be applied continuously or pulsed. The original caption states that "it promotes deep healing - it heals septic conditions through dressings, for instance. This machine gives off wireless waves which interferes with short wave transmission. That is the reason from the wire box, which breaks up the waves". A nurse administers the treatment. |

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  |
