Abstract :
RF and Microwaves are non-ionizing radiation energy. They are very safe in application of medicine, especially in diagnosis and treatment. Application of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has greatly progress in medical diagnosis. Microwave techniques have a great potential to help to advance MRI techniques. In this paper, microwave reflection sensing and microwave irradiation for heating treatment is introduced with using MRI.
