Thermal radiation by the multilayered structure of the part of the body containing the kidney was modeled for adaptation of waveguide antennas developed for use in breast examination to use in urology. These calculations confirmed the possibility of using microwave radiometry to detect vesicoureteral reflux and other renal pathologies.
