ABSTRACT:
A microwave body heating system uses one or more focused beams of microwave energy. A fan beam or transversely scanned beam is directed to a narrow transverse section of a subject's body. The transversely scanned or fan beam is moved longitudinally down the body in a controlled sequential incremental manner. Scanning times, patterns and radiated power levels are controlled in experimentally predetermined or monitored formats to achieve desired levels of heating of an entire body or localized area. Microwave frequency energy is provided by one or more magnetron type devices in a variably positionable microwave power assembly which is longitudinally scanned under control of a motor device.
