The influence of antenna gain and beamwidth used in OSSEUS in the screening process for osteoporosis

Abstract Applications on electromagnetic waves in the field of biotelemetry have increased in the latest years, being used to prevent, diagnose, and treatment of several diseases. In this context, biotelemetry allows minimally invasive monitoring of the physiologic, improving comfort and patient car...
