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. This invention allows for the efficient utilization of multiple frequency bands allowed by the FCC, as well as a more precise distribution of electromagnetic energy to 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 the test subject by applying at a distance from the subject RF electromagnetic radiation having a frequency in the range of 2.4-2.5 GHz, 5.725-5.875 GHz or 24-24.25 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 parameters of the irradiation incident on the test subject; detecting IR electromagnetic radiation data emitted by said portion of irradiated biomaterials of the test subject; and presenting a thermal image of said portion of the test subject differentiating different levels of IR electromagnetic radiation emitted.
