Résumé

Noncontact receiving of clinical information in current mode with the computer processing of the results in a convenient form for the doctor, without harmful effects on the patient’s body is relevant. Measurement of internal temperature of body can give unique diagnostic information. The review gives consideration and comparison of the noninvasive measurement methods of internal body temperature at this stage. Such methods as magnetic resonance (NMR) thermometry, microwave radiometry, acoustic thermometry are described. Information about the principles of deep temperatures calculation in each of the methods is given. Comparison of the methods for spatial, temporal resolution, accuracy of temperature determination, equipment cost is proposed. The advantages and disadvantages of the methods in terms of clinical applications are given.

Détail

Keywords: magnetic resonance (NMR) thermometry; microwave radiometry; radiothermograph; acoustic thermometry; internal temperature.
