  • Abstract
    Millimeterwaves offer the capability to look through dielectric material. Wound healing processes often have to take place under a cover and especially in the case of broken limbs plaster of Paris bandages have to be removed for inspection. Investigations were done to evaluate the possibility of wound monitoring through plasters.
