Medical Applications of MHz to Sub-THz Waves
The field of RF has undergone a paradigm shift in recent years. From being a technology that had its use mainly in Telecommunications and Radar applications, it is today the forefront technology for many biomedical applications. The market for biomedical applications is expanding, and this, in turn, is constantly driving the demand for a plethora of RF products with smaller sizes, increased functionality, and integration. Consequently, recent years have seen rapid changes in RF techniques as well as technology. This trend is continuing enabling the use of increasingly higher RF frequencies with their inherent advantages of smaller component size and larger bandwidth. In particular, the use
of millimeter waves and sub-terahertz frequencies has opened new opportunities in terms of the development of non-invasive sensors for a variety of biomedical applications including diagnostic and drug delivery systems. The talk will cover some of the biomedical applications of RF to Subterahertz frequencies. Examples of targeted drug delivery systems, painless diagnostic systems, vital body parameter monitoring, non-invasive blood glucose monitoring sensors, imaging to effectively detect breast cancer, etc., will be presented.
