Abstract :
Based on analogies between microwaves and ultrasonic waves common procedures for medical diagnostic imaging are summarized. Common problems as well as differences between microwaves and ultrasound are pointed out and resulting limitations with respect to this kind of application are discussed. Furthermore, activities in this field are reviewed, corresponding literature is presented.
