A wearable microwave instrument can detect and monitor traumatic abdominal injuries in a porcine model

Abstract Abdominal injury is a frequent cause of death for trauma patients, and early recognition is essential to limit fatalities. There is a need for a wearable sensor system for prehospital settings that can detect and monitor bleeding in the abdomen (hemoperitoneum). This study evaluates the pot...
