Abstract :
The paper presents problems connected with thermal radiation of human bodies in the microwave range in respect of diagnosis of breast carcinoma. A mathematical model of transmission of thermal radiation through tissues is introduced and methods of measurement of temperature, depth and size of heat source, by means of multifrequency microwave thermography, are described. Theoretical considerations are supplemented with presentation of the results of experiments
