The thermal emission of human skin at micrometer wavelengths has been used in clinical infrared thermography for over one decade. Recently, the emission of the human body at centimeter and millimeter wavelengths has been studied for clinical applicat ions.'4 The advantage of these long wavelengths is their good depth-viewing capabilities; they can directly measure subcutaneous temperatures, in contrast to conventional infrared thermography, which is limited to the measurement of skin temperatures only. This paper will briefly review emission characteristics of the human body, describe thermographic imaging instrumentation operating at several different wavelengths, and present preliminary clinical findings on treatment monitoring of arthritis, detection of tumors in the brain and thyroid, and detection of breast cancer.
