Summary :

Multifrequency microwave radiometry has been investigated for non-invasive measurement of temperatures in a human body. In this paper, we propose a new temperature profile model function, which is based on thermo-physiological considerations, for use in model fitting method of retrieving a temperature profile from a set of multifrequency radiometric data. The microwave radiometric technique using the new model function was tested by numerical simulations against animal experiment and clinical data reported elsewhere. The results show that the microwave radiometric technique can be used effectively to measure temperature profiles in tissues over a depth range from 0 to about 4.5 cm.
