TOMSK, Apr 26 – RIA Tomsk. Radiophysicists of Tomsk State University (TSU) are developing a device for non-invasive blood diagnostics,
oncological tumors and diseases of internal organs by means of radio waves; it
will allow to obtain accurate images and 3D-models of a human body, and can be
used for treatment, the press service of the university said on Thursday.

It is specified that the radio emission is divided into several parts: the zone
closest to the source, the Fresnel diffraction zone, and the Fraunhofer
diffraction zone. The last is necessary for the creation of antennas, but the
near zone – previously was in no interest. With its help, one can observe an
increase in temperature and analyze reflected radiation. It can be seen already
on the skin layer.
"We will choose different radiation frequencies to control the boundaries
of the near zone, and then create the device working with them. Thus, through
reflected waves from an organ or tumor, we will receive information about the
internal state of a person and we will be able to detect diseases at an early
stage", – the professor of TSU Vladimir Yakubov is quoted in the message.
It is added that the received device can be used often – unlike x-ray
radiation, radio waves are safe for humans. The device can be used for both
diagnosis and treatment of a specific organ. In addition, the device can be
useful in geolocation – in geology, archeology, ecology.
