Abstract :
We describe a new radiometric method capable of reaching a better control of the volume of the tissue under investigation in microwave thermography (this technique is mainly used in biomedical applications). Our process is based on the fact that two (or several) probes with a volume under investigation in common are collecting thermal noise signals which are correlated.
