Microwave Radiometric Thermal Patterns and Antenna Match in Healthy Female Volunteers

Description
This item was taken from the IEEE Periodical ' Microwave Radiometric Thermal Patterns and Antenna Match in Healthy Female Volunteers ' Microwave thermographic profiles of the breast region of female volunteers were obtained using a 4.7 GHz radiometer. Apparent temperature elevations of about 0.4°C were seen in the areolar (nipple) region compared to the other areas of the breast. At least half of this apparent areolar temperature elevation may be attributed to improved antenna match at that site. The importance of antenna match in the proper evaluation of microwave thermographic studies is emphasized.
