Patent ID: 8923951

Claim:
A thermal noise imaging device comprising: a source of thermal noise device configured to provide thermal noise to an amplifier; the amplifier for amplifying the thermal noise from the thermal noise device; one or more antennas adapted to transmit the amplified thermal noise to a perfused body and receive resulting perfused body noise, which is the amplified thermal noise after reflection from or transmission through the perfused body; a reference circuit adapted to receive the amplified thermal noise and produce a reference signal; a perfused body docking interface adapted to interface with one or more surfaces of the perfused body and (i) support a reflection set of one or more of the antennas in close proximity with a surface of the perfused body or (ii) support separate transmission set(s) of one or more of the antennas on opposing surfaces of the perfused body; and an analytical module for receiving the resulting perfused body noise and the reference signal and determining one or more of a reflected power from the reflection set and a transmitted power from the transmission sets, to provide thermal noise imaging of the perfused body.
