Abstract

The problems of investigation of temperature responses of a human head brain by the noninvasive method of dynamic multiprobe radiothermoimaging are considered. The equipment is described, the dynamic maps registered during a functional hyperventilation test are presented for patients with epileptogenic zones. Statistical data on thermoreactions of sick and healthy humans are presented. Comparison with the noninvasive measurements of human brain temperature using magnetic resonance spectroscopy is conducted.
