Real-Time Microwave Medical Scanning [Application Notes]
We have developed a new broadband microwave sensor for detecting and diagnosing subsurface medical conditions such as sarcopenia. The device is an open-ended coaxial concept that has been fabricated using 3D metal printing technologies. Exploiting the transmission mode, we have achieved very broadband performance while being able to sense to depths of 2.5-3.0 cm. Early comparisons with ultrasound measures in actual patients are very encouraging.
