This paper presents major medical applications of microwave radiation in therapy and diagnostics of disorders of thermoregulation, especially hyperthermia and thermography. Microwave thermography is a thermal imaging system produced by self-emission, using emissivity differences to extend our vision beyond the shortwave red. Human tissues are partially transparent to microwaves, thus it is possible to detect the microwave of subcutaneous tissues in thermography, and to allow microwave energy penetration through subcutaneous tissues for deep-tissue heating in hyperthermia. The physics of microwave thermography together with the microwave properties and emission of body tissues are introduced. It is followed by reviews of the literature pertinent to microwave hyperthermia in therapy and treatment. Recent development in this field is briefly discussed.

The efficiency of using Zernike moments when working with digital images obtained in the infrared region of the spectrum is considered to improve the accuracy and speed of an autonomous thermal imaging system. The theoretical justification of the choice of Zernike moments for solving computer (machine) vision problems and the choice of a suitable threshold binarization method is given. In order to verify the adequacy and expediency of using the chosen method, practical studies were conducted on the use of Zernike methods for distorting various thermal images in shades of gray.

Thermal imaging is a non-destructive, non-contact and rapid system. It reports temperature through measuring infrared radiation emanated by an object/ material surface. Automated thermal imaging system involves thermal camera equipped with infrared detectors, signal processing unit and image acquisition system supported by computer. It is elaborated in wide domains applications. Extensive focus is directed to the thermal imaging in the medical domain especially breast cancer detection. This chapter provided the main concept and the different applications of thermal imaging. It explores and analyses several works in the light of studding the thermograph. It is an effective screening tool for breast cancer prediction. Studies justify that thermography can be considered a complementary tool to detect breast diseases. The current chapter reviews many usages and limitations of thermography in biomedical field. Extensive recommendations for future directions are summarized to provide a structured vision of breast thermography.
