Achievements
Interference-resistant medical antennae for radiothermometric diagnostics operating at multiple frequencies were developed

The antennae receive the radiation emitted by the biological object and convert it into a radiothermographic signal (receiver + computer), which provides visual information about the intensity of electromagnetic radiation in a form that is understandable to a physician. This enables any diseases in the human body accompanied by thermal abnormalities to be diagnosed: elevated temperature (carcinogenesis, inflammation, vascular pathology, trauma, etc.) and decreased temperature (reduced blood flow, fatty involution, etc.).

Domestic software for capturing and processing stereo images was developed

The software specializes in medical microscopy and contains a number of utility functions necessary for processing medical images. It also provides communication between the microscope and the computer. The software has been tested in a number of computer-based processing tests of microscopic images of living tissue and replaces similar foreign software.
