Abstract

In recent years, various types of medical applications of electromagnetic techniques have been investigated. We have also been studying several medical applications of microwave techniques, which can be classified into diagnosis techniques and therapeutic systems. In this chapter, radio frequency techniques in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are discussed from the point of view of biomedical electromagnetic compatibility as an example of medical diagnostic devices. Moreover, therapeutic systems that employ the microwave thermal effect of biological tissue are also introduced. These systems are the thermal treatment of cancer and surgical devices using high-power microwave energy.
