Abstract: A method to form images of internal parts of objects that are of such a nature that images are smeared out due to scattering. The method consists in using scanning beams of radiation, then separating radiation that have not suffered scattering events, from the radiation that have suffered scattering events. The separation between these is made using collimators, which selectively allow only radiation that propagates along the initial propagation direction. The invention also discloses a transparent window pressed against the object, which serves to keep the incident radiation along a known direction. The radiation that suffered scattering may be also used to make a separate image of the internal parts of the object.

Abstract: A device to measure with infrared radiation, then make a projection picture of, blood concentration inside the body of animals. Blood concentration in cancer masses increases, when compared to adjoining tissues, as flesh and bones, also with a disorganized capillary distribution. The device disclosed in this invention makes two types of images, a first image, which we call transmitted image, with infrared radiation that suffered no scattering as it propagates through the body or part of the body, and a second image, which we call scattered image, with radiation that suffered one or more scattering events, as it propagates through the body. Finally, a third image can be made from a combination of the first and second image after a suitable mathematical manipulation of the first and/or second images. Each of the three images may be used as an indication of cancer.
