• Design and Evaluation of a Medical Microwave Radiometer for Observing Temperature Gradients Subcutaneously in the Human Body 

      Klemetsen, Øystein (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2012-02-01)
      The topic covered in this thesis is medical temperature measurement of subcutaneous parts of human tissue with use of microwave radiometry. Radiometry is a completely non-invasive, non-toxic and relatively inexpensive sensing modality. The radiometric technique is based on the measurement of electromagnetic noise power emitted by lossy materials. The method has explicit low investment costs and ...
    • Mikrobølgeradiometri anvendt til deteksjon av temperaturgradienter i brystvevsfantom 

      Klemetsen, Øystein (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2006-06-01)
      En passiv, ikke-invasiv og ufarlig metode for detektering av brystkreft er motivasjonen for denne oppgaven. Basisen for mikrobølgeteori og radiometrisk teori er presentert. Videre presenteres grunnlaget for å kunne foreta passive målinger på brystvevsmodeller, målemetoder og forbedringsmuligheter innen mikrobølge radiometri. Vi studerer ulike forbedringsmuligheter ved å se på systemet ved Institutt ...
    • Radiometric temperature reading of a hot ellipsoidal object inside the oral cavity by a shielded microwave antenna put flush to the cheek 

      Klemetsen, Øystein; Jacobsen, Svein Ketil; Birkelund, Yngve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      A new scheme for detection of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in children has recently been proposed in the literature. The idea is to warm bladder urine via microwave exposure to at least fever temperatures and observe potential urine reflux from the bladder back to the kidney(s) by medical radiometry. As a preliminary step toward realization of this detection device, we present non-invasive temperature ...
