Microwave vision: From RF safety to medical imaging

This article gives an overview of the activities of the company Microwave Vision, formerly Satimo, oriented to health-related applications. The existing products in terms of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) measurement and RF safety are described in detail. The progress of the development of a new imaging modality for breast pathology detection using microwaves is shortly reported.
