IEEE Journal of Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves in Medicine and Biology

IEEE Journal of Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves in Medicine and Biology is a quarterly journal published by IEEE from Piscataway, New Jersey, and sponsored by the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society together with the Antennas and Propagation Society. Launched in 2017, it carries research on electromagnetic energy in the radio, microwave and terahertz bands wherever that energy is turned on living tissue. In the 2025 Journal Citation Reports it appears in ESCI, placed in the second quartile of ENGINEERING, ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC.《IEEE 电磁学、射频与微波在医学和生物学中的应用杂志》由 IEEE 在新泽西州皮斯卡特维出版，主办方为微波理论与技术学会与天线与传播学会。该刊 2017 年创刊，刊载射频、微波与太赫兹频段电磁能量作用于活体组织的研究。2025 年 Journal Citation Reports 将其收录于 ESCI，列在电气与电子工程类目的第二四分位。

Scope

• The remit, as the sponsoring society sets it out, is electromagnetics theory, techniques and integration for medical and biological applications, and the hardware, software and simulation in a paper are expected to serve that implementation rather than stand alone.收稿范围按主办学会的表述，是电磁学理论、技术及其在医学与生物学中的集成，论文里的硬件、软件与仿真须服务于这一落地环节，不能自成一体。

• Electromagnetic imaging leads the list, from microwave tomography of the breast and head to electrical impedance tomography, with thermoacoustic and photoacoustic tomography alongside.电磁成像列在清单前段，从乳腺与头部的微波断层成像到电阻抗断层成像，热声与光声断层成像并列其中。

• Magnetic resonance hardware keeps a strand of its own, covering radio-frequency coils, the heating hazard that an implanted lead creates, and field strengths that reach 10.5 tesla.磁共振硬件自成一脉，涵盖射频线圈、植入导线带来的发热风险，以及高到 10.5 特斯拉的场强。

• Therapeutic work centres on controlled heating, from SAR-guided hyperthermia and the applicator design behind it to microwave ablation devices for liver, endometrium and bone.治疗方向以可控加热为中心，从以 SAR 引导的热疗及其背后的施加器设计，到用于肝脏、子宫内膜与骨的微波消融器件。^[1]

• Safety assessment is a listed subject, and dosimetry papers compute specific absorption rate on realistic bodies, taking in fetal exposure at successive gestational ages and the exposure that wireless networks set on children.安全性评估是列明的题材，剂量学论文在逼真人体模型上计算比吸收率，胎儿在各孕周的暴露与无线网络加于儿童的暴露都在其中。^[2]

• Regulatory compliance appears on the same list, so work on exposure limits and on the standards a device must meet sits beside device studies instead of behind them.监管合规出现在同一份清单里，暴露限值与器械须满足的标准，与器件研究并排讨论，而非附在其后。

• Bioeffects run from cell cultures and human lymphocytes to long-term animal exposure, and radio-frequency carcinogenesis has been argued on the page since the first volume.生物效应从细胞培养与人类淋巴细胞延伸到长期动物暴露，射频致癌性的讨论自第 1 卷起就在刊物上进行。

• Sensing and spectroscopy form the other pillar, reading the dielectric properties of tissues and of single living cells, and following antigen-antibody binding with resonant probes.传感与波谱构成另一支柱，读取组织与单个活细胞的介电特性，也用谐振探头跟踪抗原与抗体的结合。

• Circuit-level work appears too, from a 30 GHz dielectric sensor built in BiCMOS to an on-chip wireless power receiver small enough for a neural implant.电路层面的工作同样出现，从用 BiCMOS 工艺做出的 30 吉赫兹介电传感器，到小到可装入神经植入体的片上无线受能器。

• Millimetre-wave and sub-terahertz instruments enter through breast imaging, glucose sensing, tumour-margin probes, and the exposure levels such waves set on curved body parts.毫米波与亚太赫兹仪器经乳腺成像、血糖传感、肿瘤边缘探头，以及这类波在曲面体表造成的暴露水平进入该刊。

• Wearable and textile antennas recur, from a skin-adhesive repeater that relays body signals onward to textile-integrated sensing of temperature and sweat.可穿戴与织物天线反复出现，从把体表信号转发出去的贴肤中继天线，到织入织物的体温与汗液传感。

• Implantable and ingestible systems bring link budget, wireless power transfer and capsule endoscopy, with implanted antenna efficiency measured inside a reverberation chamber.植入式与可吞服系统带来链路预算、无线输能与胶囊内镜，植入天线的效率在混响室中测得。

• Wireless power transfer and body-area networking are named in the scope, and the pages carry magnetic induction links, galvanic coupling channels and data transmission through fat tissue.无线输能与体域网络在范围中被点名，磁感应链路、伽伐尼耦合信道与穿越脂肪组织的数据传输都见于版面。

• Radar for remote or noninvasive monitoring and tracking is a scope line of its own, and the journal has carried a review of short-range continuous-wave architectures, ultra-wideband respiration sensing and Doppler gait analysis.用于远距或无创监测与跟踪的雷达是独立的一条范围，刊内既有短程连续波架构的综述，也有超宽带呼吸传感与多普勒步态分析。^[3]

• Machine learning has moved into the imaging and sensing strands, with deep-learning papers on microwave breast imaging, head-stroke localisation and radar-based heart-rate detection.机器学习已进入成像与传感两条支脉，微波乳腺成像、头部卒中定位与雷达心率检测都出现了深度学习论文。
