Abstract :
Magnetic resonance image (MRI) is applied to support microwave reflection from biological body. From T1 and T2 of MR imaging, the distribution of free water, bonding water in human tissue can be obtained. The MR imaging based model for microwave reflection is very helpful to diagnose human condition such as glucose level in blood.
