[Anisotropy of SHF-energy absorption in cancerous and normal animal tissues]

The angular distribution of the microwave absorption in normal and tumor (PC-1, Sa-45) tissues in the plane perpendicular or parallel to the body maximum size vector ----1 was investigated. The mechanism of microwave section induction by means of a "strong-radiation" slot was used to measure the angular distribution of microwave power. All types of tumor with the anisotropy factor K = 2 divided by 2.2 were shown to be characterised by a strong long-term anisotropy of absorption at ----E parallel 1 (where ----E--vector of electric field). In normal tissue anisotropy levels were lower (liver--K = 1.2; subcutaneous fat--K = 1.4).
