Breast Thermal Imaging, The Paradigm Shift
نویسنده
چکیده
Infrared thermal imaging of the breast, a non-invasive adjunctive diagnostic methodology has become all but non-existent in the United States. This is in large part due to extensive debate concerning thermography in the trial courts, related to spinal injury cases and also due to the model or basis used for breast thermal imaging. This paper attempts to identify possible factors which will bring thermal breast imaging back into serious mainstream consideration as a valid adjunct to overall breast pathology diagnosis.
