Details
Executive Summary : | Use of passive microwave radiometry, a deep tissue thermometry technique for measuring core body temperature and to monitor lung infections. Two prototypes were developed in PI?s lab for screening of breast tumours and inflammatory disease such as arthritis, sprain. The same principle is proposed for measuring core body temperature and lung infections for covid-19. |
