Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014
The ability to observe temperature variations inside the human body may help in detecting the presence of medical anomalies. Abnormal changes in physiological parameters (such as metabolic and blood perfusion rates) cause localized tissue temperature change. If the anatomical information of an observed tissue region is known, then a nominal temperature profile can be created using the nominal physiological parameters. Temperature-varying radiation emitted from the human body can be captured using microwave radiometry and compared to the expected radiation from nominal temperature profiles to detect anomalies. Microwave radiometry is a passive system with the ability to capture radiation from tissue …
