Abstract

In this work we present a novel non-invasive method and the corresponding devices to diagnose ansinternal anomality, that is, various kinds of intrinsic cancer, in a living subject by sending a passively occurring middle-infrared (MIR) radiation signal associated with the abnormality and inside an orifice of the Diagnostics includes detection and identification of the abnormality. A device or instrument is used either to bring a sensor into the orifice (in vivo diagnosis) or to transmit the MIR signal to the device or instrument located outside of the orifice (in vitro diagnosis). The example of instrument includes a prior art endoscope or gastroscope. The corresponding test results are presented as a proof of the proposed methodology of earlier diagnostics of internal cancerous structures.
