=== Biomedical sensors ===
In recent years biomedical sensors based in microwave technology have gained more attention. Different sensors can be manufactured for specific uses in both diagnosing and monitoring disease conditions, for example microwave sensors can be used as a complementary technique to X-ray to monitor lower extremity trauma.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Shah|first1=Syaiful|last2=Velander|first2=Jacob|last3=Mathur|first3=Parul|last4=Perez|first4=Mauricio|last5=Asan|first5=Noor|last6=Kurup|first6=Dhanesh|last7=Blokhuis|first7=Taco|last8=Augustine|first8=Robin|date=2018-02-21|title=Split-Ring Resonator Sensor Penetration Depth Assessment Using in Vivo Microwave Reflectivity and Ultrasound Measurements for Lower Extremity Trauma Rehabilitation|journal=Sensors|language=en|volume=18|issue=2|pages=636|doi=10.3390/s18020636|issn=1424-8220|pmc=5855979|pmid=29466312|bibcode=2018Senso..18..636S|doi-access=free}}</ref> The sensor monitor the dielectric properties and can thus notice change in tissue (bone, muscle, fat etc.) under the skin so when measuring at different times during the healing process the response from the sensor will change as the trauma heals.
