Microwave radiothermometry is a passive and non-invasive technique which is used to measure the depth temperature of biological tissue. The method of microwave radio thermometry is based on measuring the intensity of the own electromagnetic radiation of the internal tissues of the patient in the ultra-high frequency range. The temperature measured by the instrument is called brightness. Modeling the brightness temperature is carried out to research the effectiveness of the method of medical diagnostics based on microwave radiothermometry data. A mathematical model of the distribution of the electromagnetic and temperature fields in the mammary gland was built. A numerical simulation of the electromagnetic and temperature fields for models differing in internal structure was carried out. The structure of the mammary gland is a multicomponent, heterogeneous environment and consists of the following types of biological tissues: skin, adipose tissue, muscle tissue, milk lobules, blood flow. The contribution of the electromagnetic field to the formation of the brightness temperature was determined. The dependence of the brightness temperature on the radius of the tumor is presented.
