Physical Principles of Microwave Hyperthermia of the Prostate

  • Chapter
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Abstract

Had a physicist translated the book of Genesis it might begin:

‥And God said: “Let there be electromagnetic radiation!” And there was electromagnetic radiation. God saw that the electromagnetic radiation was good, and He separated the visible light from the darkness…
