Applications of microwave radiometry in diagnostic suspicion of mammary pathology

Abstract

Paper present the theoretical basis of microwave radiometry, the specific problems, both theoretical and practical, during the detection of the thermal origin electromagnetic radiation and microwave frequency, comparing with the detection of infrared radiation. Paper will show the results obtained after an analysis upon a specific group, from which selected for our discussion only the cases in which the results obtained by classical methods are contradictory to the results obtained by microwave radiometry and IR thermography © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
