Applications of Microwave Sensors in Medicines

摘要

Microwave sensors for Biomedical applications are highlighted in this paper. The emphasis is placed on newer emerging diagnostic and therapeutic applications, such as microwave breast cancer detection, separation of red cells, bio-detection devices, hyperthermia treatment of tumors, and treatment with localized high power used in ablation of the heart, and liver and others. A very brief outline of biological effects of microwaves and associated issues is given as background to the applications.
