Introduction to correlation microwave thermography.
Correlation microwave thermography, a new process based on a coherent detection of noise, is able to improve the localization of the thermal gradients in the tissues. We explain the principles of this method and describe the first system which has been built and tested. Several experiments point out that with this process better spatial resolution and flexibility can be expected.
