Abstract :
Presents problems connected with thermal radiation of human bodies in the microwave range for aspects of breast carcinoma diagnosis. A mathematical model of thermal radiation transmission 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 by presentation of the results of experiments.
