| “THERMOGRAPHY:
Radiometric Sensing in Medicine”, by Dr.
Kenneth L. Carr, published in New Frontiers in Medical
Device Technology, 1995, by John Wiley & Sons,
Inc., New York. The article can serve as an educational
instrument, and provide a genuine understanding of microwave
radiometry. The references cited are extensive, and many
pertain to the work of MMS®. |
| Passive
radiometric sensing, the ability to non-invasively measure
and monitor temperature, is a significant and unique component
of MMS'®
products. |
| MMS®
has developed products that are unique in their ability
to not only measure and monitor temperature and measure
flow rate, but to heat blood, fluid or tissue to a specific
temperature, and to maintain that temperature at a specific
level. The Company’s products fall into two categories:
Minimally-Invasive and Non-Invasive. |
•
Minimally-Invasive
Products •
|
| The
design of interstitial antennas, or catheters, has focused
on producing uniform heating and temperature-sensing patterns.
The broad bandwidth of these antennas/catheters allow
microwave heating and temperature measurement at significantly
different frequencies, using a common catheter. These
unique antennas/ catheters are sufficiently small and
flexible to allow insertion or placement into the blood
vessel. |
•
Non-Invasive
Products •
|
| Although
fluid is administered to the patient through the use of
a needle, a product used in a fluid delivery path (IV
tubing) is considered to be non-invasive. |
