None:
A diagnostic method for non-invasive measurement of brain temperature in patients with cerebral pathology has been developed. The brain temperature was recorded via implanted thermal sensors and by measuring the power of intrinsic electromagnetic radiation emitted by the brain in the microwave range (3400-3900 MHz). The discrepancy between the results obtained at a depth of 3-5 cm from the scalp surface did not exceed 0.1-0.3°C (cerebral cortex). These findings demonstrate the high accuracy of microwave radiothermometry, validating it as a promising method for assessing cerebral thermohomeostasis.

Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...
