| Research Abstract |
Hypothermic brain treatment for newborn babies are currently hindered by the lack of appropriate techniques for continuous and non-invasive measurement of deep brain temperature. This study shows the current capability of the microwave radiometer system for non-invasive measurement of deep brain temperature in new-born babies. We measured the phantom which emulated the temperature profile in baby's brain. The results showed that 2-σ confidence interval (precision) and the error (accuracy) at 5cm depth were 0.5 and 2℃, respectively. Reducing the error to less than 1℃ is the next and final goal of this research.
