Abstract :
Design principles for apparatus and methods of safe, noninvasive functional imaging of a human organism by mapping physical electromagnetic fields are presented. The methods covered are infrared dynamic thermoimaging, radiothermal imaging, acoustothermometry, magnetic mapping of the heart and brain, electric imaging, and optical multispectral mapping.<>
