Abstract
MISTM is a 94 GHz passive mm-wave imager designed to produce high resolution thermal images of medical subjects. The ultimate aim is to detect shallow subcutaneous thermal emission as a diagnostic indicator of disease. The imager is currently undergoing hospital data gathering trials to evaluate its performance against other imaging techniques.
