Well, as much as I want to regale you with the calculations, this quote will do most of the talking.

"Unlike lasers, masers can pierce though cloud cover, living tissue, and other solid materials undisturbed. Its ability to penetrate could make it particularly useful in the medical field with higher-definition body scanners or an even more accurate maser-based space telescope."

Take from this what you will.
