From: Investigating the role of capacitive coupling between the operating table and the return electrode of an electrosurgery unit in the modification of the current density distribution within the patients’ body

Figure 3

Sagittal (a) and coronal (b) sections of the patient representing the difference between the two current densities (A/m2) (with and without conductive table). A high current density spot is evident behind the sacrum. High values of current densities results also in the patient head and in correspondence of the thoracic intervertebral discs (much more conductive than vertebrae).
