“…Pressure, generated by the balloon inflation, dilates the affected artery. Microwave balloon angioplasty (MBA) provides a major modification for the PTBA [544], [545], [546]. The MBA catheter contains a microwave cable and an end-fire antenna assembly encased within the catheter, similar to the ones mentioned for catheter ablation tools.…”

Advances and updates in medical applications utilizing microwave techniques and technologies are reviewed in this paper. The article aims to provide an overview of enablers for microwave medical applications and their recent progress. The emphasis focuses on the applications of microwaves, in the following order, for 1) signal and data communication for implants and wearables through the human body, 2) electromagnetic energy transfer through tissues, 3) noninvasive, remote or in situ physical and biochemical sensing, and 4) therapeutic purposes by changing tissue properties with controlled thermal effects. For signal and data communication and wireless power transfer, implant and wearable applications are discussed in the categories of pacemakers, endoscopic capsules, brain interfaces, intraocular, cardiac and intracranial pressure sensors, neurostimulators, endoluminal implants, artificial retina, smart lenses, and cochlear implants. For noninvasive sensing, remote vital sign radar, biological cell probing, magnetic resonance and microwave imaging, biochemical, blood glucose, hydration and biomarker sensing applications are introduced. For therapeutic uses, the developments of microwave ablation, balloon angioplasty, and hyperthermia applications are reviewed. The scopes of this article mainly concentrate on the research and development efforts in the past 20 years. Recent review articles on specific topics are cited with accomplishment highlights and trends deliberated. At the end of this article, a brief history of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) Biological Effects and Medical Applications committee and the contributions by its members to the promotion and advancement of microwave technologies in medical fields are chronicled.

“…Rosen's work in cardiology, and his ideas about using microwaves to assist in angioplasty procedures and microwave ablation of tissue, took off at this point [29]- [32]. Rosen was even invited to give a keynote address at the 1989 IEEE International Microwave Symposium in Baltimore, MD, where he broadcast live -through a satellite communications link, and discussed a real-time, RF cardiac ablation surgical procedure on a patient at Jefferson Medical School [30]!…”

This is the fourth article in our continuing series of biographical pieces with a technical lean. The subject of this paper is Professor Arye Rosen, who -while employed full time at RCA Sarnoff Research Laboratory as an engineer and working on the side more-or-less as a "hobby" -pioneered the use of microwave angioplasty and ablation techniques in cardiology, and later influenced the use of microwaves in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Dr. Rosen's life story is as varied and interesting as his career path, and his contributions both to traditional microwave devices as well as microwaves in medicine will definitely inspire those of you who feel like they are pulled in more than one direction professionally. In Dr. Rosen's case, he did "have it all," but he worked very hard to make it happen and he took lots of chances …as you will hear! INDEX TERMS Microwave pioneers, Arye Rosen, microwaves in medicine, balloon catheter hyperthermia.1 This article was compiled after two wonderfully entertaining interviews with Dr. Arye Rosen -he used an iPhone no less, on March 3 rd and 5 th , 2021. Normally, the interviews would have been face-to-face, but Covid 19 restrictions forced their conversion into Zoom video conference sessions. Dr. Rosen was in his residence of many years in Cherry Hill, NJ where he could somewhat reasonably commute between Princeton, NJ (
