Breast thermography as a screening technique: An evalutation of performance data

A Comparative Review of Thermography as a Breast Screening Technique

guidelines vary in North America. In the United States, the US Preventive Services Task force (USPSTF) “recommends screening mammography, with or without clinical breast exam, every 1 to 2 years for women aged 40 or older.” In addition, there are no recommendations for or against the use of CBE or breast self exam (BSE) in screening. In Canada, mammography and CBE are accepted procedures for br...

Assessment of Computer Regulation Thermography (CRT) as a Complemetrary Diagnostic tool for Breast Cancer Patient

Background: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women demanding accurate diagnosis to take remedial measures to treat.Objective: Comparing the diagnostic capability of the computer regulation thermography (CRT), as a novel and safe diagnostic procedure, with common methods including sonography, mammography and clinical examinations for diagnosing breast cancer in suspicious...

Advanced integrated technique in breast cancer thermography.

Thermography is a passive and non-contact imaging technique used extensively in the medical arena, but in relation to breast care, it has not been accepted as being on a par with mammography. This paper proposes the analysis of thermograms with the use of artificial neural networks (ANN) and bio-statistical methods, including regression and receiver operating characteristics (ROC). It is desire...

Breast Thermography Safe, effective, pain-free breast cancer screening

Thermography is not a feasible method for breast cancer screening.

Breast cancer is a common malignancy causing high mortality in women especially in developed countries. Due to the contribution of mammographic screening and improvements in therapy, the mortality rate from breast cancer has decreased considerably. An imaging-based early detection of breast cancer improves the treatment outcome. Mammography is generally established not only as diagnostic but al...
