Abstract
Medical applications of RF/microwaves are highlighted in this paper. The emphasis is placed on newer emerging diagnostic and therapeutic applications, such as microwave breast cancer detection, and treatment with localized high power used in ablation of the heart, and liver, benign prostate hypertrophy, angioplasty, and others. A very brief outline of biological effects of RF/microwaves and associated issues is given as background to the applications.
