Abstract. The microwave thermometry method for the diagnosis of breast cancer is based on an analysis of the internal temperature distribution.This paper is devoted to the construction of a mathematical model for increasing the accuracy of measuring the internal temperature of mammary glands, which are regarded as a complex combination of several components, such as fat tissue, muscle tissue, milk lobules, skin, blood flows, tumor tissue. Each of these biocomponents is determined by its own set of physical parameters. Our numerical model is designed to calculate the spatial distributions of the electric microwave field and the temperature inside the biological tissue. We compare the numerical simulations results to the real medical measurements of the internal temperature.

“…Body temperature distribution is an important criterion in the diagnosis of diseases [11,13] because it characteri -zes a person's functional state. Tumors of the breast cause relatively high heat emission at an early stage, which leads to a local increase in the temperature of the tissues.…”

“…This problem restricts the practical application of radiothermometry in diagnosis. Since only a qualitative determination of the presence of an anomaly without accurate quantitative characteristics is possible, the method is most widely used for the diagnosis of breast cancer [3,[6][7][8]. The mammary gland in terms of electrophysical properties is a homogeneous area.…”

“…Deep temperature is an integral indicator of the level of bioenergetic processes and it can serve as an indicator of the morphofunctional state of separate organs. The reasons of increasing of the local temperature may be [2]: inflammation of any genesis, malignant neoplasms [3]; disorders of venous outflow and venous congestion; increase in the metabolic rate of various organs. Of particular importance is the measurement of deep temperatures for the diagnosis of cancer.…”
