Patent ID: 6885191

Claim:
A radio-frequency imaging system for noninvasively imaging the internal structure of an object, comprising: means for generating a first beam comprised of multiple differing simultaneous radio frequency signals, said signals having a particular wavelength, that is to be passed through said object; means for transmitting said first beam comprised of multiple differing simultaneous radio frequency signals toward said object, said means for transmitting said first beam disposed at a first side of the object; means for receiving non-reflected portions of said first beam after said non-reflected portions have passed through said object; means for transmitting, at a different frequency than the RF signals of the first beam, an additional beam comprised of radio frequency signals towards said object in a non-parallel crossed travel path with respect to a travel path of the first beam, at the same time said first beam is transmitted, in order to obtain localized RF energy cross-beam information; means for receiving a non-reflected portion of said additional beam after said non-reflected portion of said additional beam has passed through said object; means for generating one or more images of at least a portion of said object's internal structure based on received non-reflected portions of said first beam; and means for displaying said one or more images.
