Dr. Husham Al-Qaiysi in Communication and Computer Engineering department has held a seminar entitled “Applications of Radars in Medicine” which conducted on April-19-2018 at 2:00 PM in techno Park hall. This seminar presents demonstration of the feasibility of using ultra-wideband sensors for detection of internal injuries, monitoring of respiratory and cardiac functions, and continuous non-contact imaging of the human body. Sensors are low-power, portable, and do not require physical contact with the patient. They are ideal for use by emergency responders to make rapid diagnosis and triage decisions. In the hospital, vital signs monitoring and imaging application could improve patient outcomes. In this seminar an overview of ultra-wideband radar technology is discussed as well as the key design tradeoffs. Examples are given on ongoing research in applying ultra-wideband technology to the medical field. The audience started to participate by questions and comments concerning Ultra-wideband radar (UWB) which holds great promise for a variety of medical applications.
