Alternative low frequency magnetic field theranostics: recent advances, safety and hazards

The paper presents a brief review and comparative analysis of low frequency (nonheating) and radio-frequency electromagnetic nanomedicine technologies. The former are shown to have a considerable advantage over the latter ones: a higher flexibility and penetrating ability, easier to dose and control, easier to localize, as well as safer and less costly. This makes their employment promising for building a new technological platform for low frequency magnetic theranostics with a wider range of options, i.e. possessing a wider multimodality than traditional radio-frequency methods.
