Breast cancer only detected by thermography

A small breast cancer detected by PET.

A small breast cancer was detected by positron emission tomography (PET) in an asymptomatic individual. Physical examination, mammography and magnetic resonance imaging all failed to identify the tumor. Treatment was partial resection of the breast. Based on the resected specimen, the tumor was 6 mm in diameter. Although previous studies have shown PET to be highly sensitive for the detection o...

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 and cancer risk prediction.

Thermography makes a significant contribution to the evaluation of patients suspected of having breast cancer. The obviously abnormal thermogram carries with it a high risk of cancer. This report summarizes the results of patients with questionable or stage Th III thermograms. From approximately 58,000 patients, most of whom had breast complaints, examined between August 1965 and June 1977, the...
