Abstract

We studied the possibility of myocardial pathology diagnostics with an original method of skin anisotropy factor (AF) measurement by the use of differential reflectometry in the millimeter wave (MMW) range.

A theoretical model of interaction between MMW and human skin in the area of the acupuncture point is proposed. The model adequacy was verified on experimental anisotropic samples.

Clinical investigations were performed in the patient groups with the stable and instable stenocardia as well as in the control group. Significant differences were revealed between the AF mean values measured in this group of patients.
