Advanced Radio Frequency (RF) Systems and Metamaterials for Improving Diagnosis and Therapy in Healthcare

In the present work, different radiofrequency hardware arrangements for biomedical applications are presented, exploiting distinct operating principles. In particular, in the first part of the work, we focus our attention towards low-frequency sensing and imaging applications, while, in the second part, magnetic resonance imaging will be investigated. In a third conclusive part, some different, but promising, configurations for sensing and imaging based on preliminary design activities are reported, as future development paths.
