Abstract
This paper presents major medical applications of microwave radiation in therapy and diagnostics of disorders of thermoregulation, especially hyperthermia and thermography. Microwave thermography is a thermal imaging system produced by self-emission, using emissivity differences to extend our vision beyond the shortwave red. Human tissues are partially transparent to microwaves, thus it is possible to detect the microwave of subcutaneous tissues in thermography, and to allow microwave energy penetration through subcutaneous tissues for deep-tissue heating in hyperthermia. The physics of microwave thermography together with the microwave properties and emission of body tissues are introduced. It is followed by reviews of the literature pertinent to microwave hyperthermia in therapy and treatment. Recent development in this field is briefly discussed.
