Abstract
Microwave thermography is the noninvasive detection of subcutaneous temperatures. Measurements at 1.3 and 3.3 GHz on several thousand patients in a breast cancer detection clinic show a true-positive detection rate of seventy percent and when combined with infrared thermography a rate of ninety percent is obtained.
