Passive microwave radiometry (MWR) measures natural emissions in the range 1-10GHz from proteins, cells, organs and the whole human body. The intensity of intrinsic emission is determined by biochemical and biophysical processes. The nature of this process is still not very well known. Infrared thermography (IRT) can detect emission several microns deep (skin temperature), whereas MWR allows detection of thermal abnormalities down to several centimeters (internal or deep temperature). MWR is noninvasive and inexpensive. It requires neither fluorescent nor radioactive labels, nor ionizing or other radiation. MWR can be used in early drug discovery as well as preclinical and clinical studies.

生物医学研究中的被动微波辐射法。

被动微波辐射法（MWR）可测量1-10 GHz范围内蛋白质，细胞，器官和整个人体的自然辐射。本征发射的强度由生化和生物物理过程确定。这个过程的性质还不是很清楚。红外热成像（IRT）可以检测出几微米深（皮肤温度）的辐射，而MWR可以检测到几厘米（内部或深层温度）的热异常。MWR是无创且便宜的。它既不需要荧光标签也不需要放射性标签，也不需要电离或其他辐射。MWR可用于早期药物发现以及临床前和临床研究。
