Microwave technology has the potential to revolutionize how, when, and what care can be delivered to patients with acute, life-threatening medical conditions. The prospects are that microwave systems can both improve diagnostic ability and accuracy and enable earlier diagnosis. Early diagnosis is a key factor in acute situations, especially when breathing and circulation are affected. Conventional imaging modalities used for diagnostics, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray computed tomography (CT), are powerful but normally available only at hospitals.
