	Frequency and Wavelength relate to cancer risk testing. For example, imaging and radiology like x-rays and other like Computed tomography (CT) scans,Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, Mammography, and Ultrasound save millions of lives by detecting cancer and aid in formulating treatment plans. Each of these tests requires a very specific wavelength and frequency to take images. These medical machines that use electromagnetic waves are directly related to the biomedical engineering field.
