Electromagnetic therapy devices designed over the last 45 years have been based on empirical (trial-anderror) techniques. This paper presents a novel approach to designing and engineering therapeutic devices. Based upon using a superconductive quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer for registration of the magnetic field emitted by specific organs in norm and after the injury/pathology, this approach avoids empirical engineering. The signal parameters recorded by the SQUID magnetometer allow one to derive tissue-and/or diseasespecific signals. This is made possible using contemporary, state-of-the-art controls with engineering and computer science techniques.

This article presents a novel modality for accelerating the repair of tendon and ligament lesions by means of a specifically designed electromagnetic field in an equine model. This novel therapeutic approach employs a delivery system that induces a specific electrical signal from an external magnetic field derived from Superconductive QUantum Interference Device (SQUID) measurements of injured vs. healthy tissue. Evaluation of this therapy technique is enabled by a proposed new technology described as Predictive Analytical Imagery (PAI™). This technique examines an ultrasound grayscale image and seeks to evaluate it by means of look-ahead predictive algorithms and digital signal processing. The net result is a significant reduction in background noise and the production of a high-resolution grayscale or digital image.
