Systems and methods for multispectral scanning and detection for medical diagnosis

摘要

The present invention relates to systems and methods for detecting biomaterial anomalies in a test subject for diagnosing existing and potential medical conditions. The general technique utilized is to expose a portion of the test subject to low doses of RF electromagnetic energy. Different biomaterials in a test subject may be differentiated and identified by characterizing their electromagnetic properties based on observed parameters, e.g., electromagnetic energy absorbed, thermal energy created, and electromagnetic energy emitted, during irradiation of the test subject.

主权项

1. A method for scanning and detecting biomaterials within a test subject for medical diagnosis, which comprises:
irradiating a portion of biomaterials within the test subject by applying at a distance from the subject RF electromagnetic radiation having a frequency of 1 to 3 GHz and at a density that is between 1 and 100 mW/cm2 with the radiation applied to maximize depth of penetration to ensure proper scanning of the biomaterials and at a time weighted average power density that is below an exposure of 5 mW/cm2 for 6 minutes so as to not harm or injure the subject; measuring the amount of power transmitted to the test subject; detecting IR electromagnetic radiation data emitted by said portion of the irradiated biomaterials of the test subject; and processing the detected IR electromagnetic radiation data to provide a thermal image of said portion of the test subject differentiating different levels of IR electromagnetic radiation emitted, wherein the processing also determines electromagnetic properties of the biomaterials in the test subject based on the detected IR electromagnetic radiation data.
