New Medical Technology – Functional Microwave Thermography: Experimental Study

Abstract

A diagnosis technique based on the functional microwave thermography (FMT) is examined in vivo. Theoretical analysis of this method is presented and the methodology of the analysis of primary experimental data on the basis of application of mathematical approach of nonlinear dynamics is discussed. Possibilities of the FMT method in translational research of different therapeutic agents against malignant tumors are revealed and several examples of the corresponding thermograms are presented and discussed.


Keywords: microwave thermography, malignant tumors, nonlinear dynamics
