Patent ID: 8812084

Claim:
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/cm 2 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/cm 2 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.
