Medical Applications of Ultrawideband Radar

Over the last two decades a broad range of science, engineering, and related disciplines have used the penetration properties of electromagnetic waves to probe optically nontransparent material media. In recent years, the progress in electromagnetic sciences along with the revolution in microelectronics and computers brought significant sophistication in material-penetrating radar imagery. Many such advances use ultrawideband (UWB) radar technologies that gain in spatial resolution and depth of penetration into CONTENTS
