1st MedWaveImage Workshop

As part of the EU MedWaveImage project, we report the 1st Workshop, coordinated by the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications-DET of Politecnico di Torino.

The event is scheduled for Tuesday, 17 June 2025 in the Maxwell Room of the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications-DET.

The MedWaveImage project is devoted to the development of the “microwave imaging” technology for biomedical applications. This technology uses low-power non-ionizing radiations, so there is no-risk for patients. Moreover, microwave imaging devices are portable, cost-efficient and with easy maintenance thanks to the implemented hardware, widely used for telecom purposes. In this workshop, the microwave imaging technology will be presented in several biomedical imaging applications, and the preclinical feasibility testing of the medical microwave imaging prototypes, developed within the MedWaveImage project, will be investigated and discussed.
