Abstract

The annual joint IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and the USNC/URSI National Radio Science Meeting [2] also featured multiple technical sessions devoted to biomedical issues. As would be natural for the sponsoring societies, there was a special emphasis on the role of antennas in biomedical sensor and imaging systems. There were dedicated sessions on biomedical telemetry (including implanted devices), breast cancer detection (with a heavy emphasis on computational modeling), electromagnetic dosimetry and biological exposure assessment, human body interactions with antennas and other electromagnetic devices (including body-centric networks), and therapeutic/rehabilitative applications (e.g., micro-magnetic neuro-stimulation and trans-cranial magnetic stimulation). In addition, a short course focused on the design of biocompatible antennas for handheld devices (mobile phones, tablet PCs).
