NCIt definition : An imaging technology that uses non-ionizing, millimeter-length electromagnetic waves
(30GHz to 300GHz) to scan the surface of an object or body. Millimeter-wave imaging
(MMW) can image through non-polar and non-metallic materials such as clothing, plastic,
and cardboard with relatively little energy loss. Compared to microwaves and radio-frequency
waves, MMW can achieve better spatial resolution due to its shorter wavelength. MMW
is harmless to humans.;
