Radio Frequency/Microwave Technology in Medicine presents state-of-art information on how medical technology is evolving in the field of Radio Frequency (RF). The Editors and Contributors provides a global perspective of trends in RF technology as used in medicine from basic concepts of RF transmission and propagation inside the human body to RF in diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, application of RF in medical care and management, and finally including regulatory issues for using microwave technology in medical devices and environments. This is the first book to cover such a broad range of information on this topic in a single volume.
