Abstract
Use of the third generation mobile phone system is increasing worldwide This is the first study to investigate the effects of the third generation system on regional cerebral blood flow rCBF in humans We compared effects of the electromagnetic field EMF emitted from the Wideband Code Division Multiple Access W CDMA cellular system versus sham control exposure on rCBF in humans Nine healthy male volunteers participated in this study Positron emission tomography PET scans were obtained before during and after unilateral 30 min EMF exposure The subtraction analysis revealed no significant rCBF changes caused by the EMF conditions compared with the sham exposure suggesting that EMF emitted by a third generation mobile phone does not affect rCBF in humans
