Abstract :
The human organism is a dynamic automatically adjusting structure. Its stability is provided by the continuous operation of different physiological systems. The variation of physiological parameters of an organism results in changes of the physical properties of biological tissues: temperatures, dielectric constant, magnetic permeability, electrical impedance, potentials, currents etc. One of the most effective methods of human organism studying is the receiving of continuous information on the indicated characteristics. Now this problem has been successfully solved with the help of radiometers based on radiophysical research techniques for studying of the electromagnetic fields radiated and dissipated by human organism. The results of experimental researches have shown that radiothermometry in the indicated wave bands, contrary to infra-red thermal imaging, shows information on dynamic temperature changes in more significant skin depth in real time, and the effect of thermal protection and thermal stabilizing operation of surface layers of skin on the observed data of temperatures inside the object is reduced. The quality of the radiobrightness map is influenced weakly by keratosic layers of false skin, hair cover, and thin clothes. The obtained data testify that panoramic and detail thermography can become rather useful in surgery, traumatology, intensive care, physiotherapy and other fields of medicine
