Abstract

This chapter explores where and how the microwave auditory effect or microwave induced thermoelastic wave phenomenon may be applied for practical purposes in life science, medicine, and other realms of human endeavors. An interesting and potentially significant diagnostic imaging applications of the microwave thermoelastic pressure wave interaction and some applied aspects of the microwave auditory effects are described. They include a discussion on early and current investigations of microwave thermoacoustic tomography (MTT) imaging and some applied aspects of the microwave auditory effects such as the recently reported covert personnel attacks at some diplomatic missions and the startle reaction from a sudden unexpected microwave auditory stimulus potentially causing the aircraft pilot to experience spatial disorientation during flight.
