Thermography--a feasible method for screening breast cancer?

Potential use of thermography for more effective detection of breast carcinoma was evaluated on 26 patients scheduled for breast carcinoma surgery. Ultrasonographic scan, mammography and thermography were performed at the University Hospital for Tumors. Thermographic imaging was performed using a new generation of digital thermal cameras with high sensitivity and resolution (ThermoTracer TH7102...

In our paper3 we presented obtained results that were carefully analyzed and shown as a new insight in existing area: use of mammography and thermography simultaneously. We confi rmed the high sensitivity of thermography4 and based on other similar research we concluded that »it would be prudent« (no must or have to) »to use thermography as a primary screening method« (not the only one) »in det...
