Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Thermography, also known as thermal or infrared imaging, is a procedure to determine if an abnormality is present in the breast tissue temperature distribution. This abnormality in temperature distribution might indicate the presence of an embedded tumor. Although thermography is currently used to indicate the presence of an abnormality, ther...

OBJECTIVE To develop an equation to estimate the breast reference temperature according to the variation of room and core body temperatures. METHODS Four asymptomatic women were evaluated for three consecutive menstrual cycles. Using thermography, the temperature of breasts and eyes was measured as indirect reference of core body and room temperatures. To analyze the thermal behavior of the b...

Breast Thermography is an emerging medical imaging tool, used for early detection of breast cancer. The growing tumor in the breast will cause the occurrence of some asymmetric heat patterns in the left and right breast. Asymmetry analysis of left and right breast is used for detecting the breast cancer from the breast thermogram images. This paper presents a method for segmenting the left and ...

Abstract: We discuss limitations of the known methods of IR imaging in diagnostics of breast cancer. In conclusion we show that the known methods, based on simple observation of external temperature distribution, are not fully effective. Even advanced pattern recognition could not help in analysis of static images. May active dynamic thermography, known in non-destructive testing of materials, ...

Delamination is one of the most common defects in carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) components, such as those used in aircraft and wind turbine blades. To detect delaminations, different NDT methods such as ultrasonic (UT), eddy current (EC) scanning, flash thermography, and recent developed pulsed-eddy-current-(PEC-) simulated thermography are conducted for comparison and evaluation of th...

B cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide (in 2010, nearly 1.5 million people were told: »You have breast cancer«). It is also the principal cause of 500,000 deaths from cancer among women globally (1). The progress achieved in diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases offers encouragement to both physicians and diseased women; the physicians have managed to save many lives, and ma...

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...
