In present era antenna is playing a prominent role in biomedical engineering for improving health and quality of life. Pacemakers, deep neural implants, endoscopy, magnetic resonance imaging, microwave imaging and clinical instruments for thermal ablation are some examples of health care instruments which are taking the benefits of antenna and wireless body area network. Antennas can be implanted, placed on body and swallowed to transfer diagnosis information from the human body to the external monitor and further to the doctor or concern person through internet. In addition, variation in the electrical parameter of antenna like near field electromagnetic radiations, impedance, reflection coefficient can be analyzed to detect diseases non-invasively. Breast and brain tumour detection, cancer detection and motion detection are some of the important applications of antennas. Moreover, heating effect of electromagnetic field is also valuable to treat the malignant cell tissues. In this survey paper, authors have covered all the possible application of antenna and the challenges faced by antenna designers to make them suitable for specific application.

在当今时代，天线在生物医学工程中为改善健康和生活质量起着重要作用。起搏器，深层神经植入物，内窥镜检查，磁共振成像，微波成像以及用于热消融的临床仪器都是利用天线和无线人体局域网络而受益的医疗保健仪器。可以植入天线，将其放置在身体上并吞下，以将诊断信息从人体传输到外部显示器，再通过互联网传输给医生或关心的人。此外，可以分析天线的电参数变化，例如近场电磁辐射，阻抗，反射系数，以非侵入性的方式检测疾病。乳腺和脑肿瘤检测，癌症检测和运动检测是天线的一些重要应用。此外，电磁场的加热作用对于治疗恶性细胞组织也很有价值。在这份调查报告中，作者涵盖了天线的所有可能应用以及天线设计人员要使其适合于特定应用所面临的挑战。
