First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

In today's world, the interaction of radiofrequency (RF) and microwave fields has garnered much attention and is increasing in importance in both the public health and medical device communities. The subject is complex and difficult to master as it draws on several sub-areas of study. Until recently, the only means for students and researchers to familiarize themselves with the intricacies of RF/Microwave tissue interactions was to read the many manuscripts and critical reviews that have been published in the last 60–70 years. The literature is both voluminous and detailed with few guides to help facilitate introduction to new researchers and engineering students. This book presents an overview of important background topics needed for an introduction to RF/Microwave interactions with body tissues (100 kHz- 10 GHz).
