Abstract

Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) and image of capillary blood vessel reflecting microscope are applied to support microwave reflection from biological body. From T₁ and T₂ enhance image of MRI, the distribution of free water, bonding water in human tissue can be obtained and from these distributions, complex permittivity can be obtained. Also, to know the long term vessel change by blood circulation in capillary blood vessel, image of capillary blood vessel was obtained. The MRI imaging based model for microwave reflection is very helpful to diagnose human condition such as blood glucose ratio.
