Microwave Radiometry Microwave Radiometry

The RTM-01-RES radiometer receives and evaluates the natural electromagnetic radiation (temperature) from the patient’s internal tissues at microwave frequencies RTM – Principles

The efficacy of the method is confirmed by clinical trials, which were carried out among more then 3500 patients RTM - Diagnosis

Breast Temperature Field Results of the measurements can be displayed in different modes

RTM-Diagnosis Software Data of the measured temperatures are automatically stored in the computers memory to be processed.

The green color represents the average temperature field of an examined organ Right MG Left MG Temperature(ºC): Minimum 32.8, Mean 33.8, Maximum 35.3 Isotherm step Breast Temperature Field

The red color represents a high temperature field of an examined organ Right MG Left MG Temperature(ºC): Minimum 32.8, Mean 33.8, Maximum 35.3 Isotherm step Breast Temperature Field

The blue color represents a lower than average normal temperature The blue color represents a lower than average normal temperature Right MG Left MG Temperature(ºC): Minimum 32.8, Mean 33.8, Maximum 35.3 Isotherm step Breast Temperature Field

Example: This is the temperature field of a healthy woman’s breasts. Temperature(ºC): Minimum 34.8, Mean 35.1, Maximum 35.4 Right MG Left MG Isotherm step Healthy Woman’s Field

Many diseases (such as cancer) are represented by high temperature areas in the internal temperature field. Temperature(ºC): Minimum 32.8, Mean 33.8, Maximum 35.3 Right MG Left MG Isotherm step Breast Temperature Field

The RTM-01-RES is indispensable for the monitoring of treatment due to the fact that it is absolutely harmless. The RTM-01-RES is indispensable for the monitoring of treatment due to the fact that it is absolutely harmless. This is a sample of the positive dynamics which occur during the treatment of mastitis. This is a sample of the positive dynamics which occur during the treatment of mastitis. Patient B. (after treatment). Right Breast Left Breast Patient B. (before treatment). Right Breast Left Breast

Clinical diagnosis - both breasts have diffuse fibrocystic mastopathy, node neoplasm is not detected. X-ray - fibrocystic mastopathy with fibrous features. Puncture - erythrocytes, fat drops. During oncological processes thermal changes precede anatomical changes. The diagnostic method has a unique ability to detect cancer diseases at early stages, when the traditional methods can not detect diseases, which have just appeared. Patient K., 57 years old
