From the last 1.5 decades of complying with the strict standardized thermogram interpretation protocols by proper infrared trained personnel as documented in literature, breast thermography has achieved an average sensitivity and specificity of 90%. An abnormal thermogram is reported as the significant biological risk marker for the existence of or continues development of breast tumor. This re...

Thermal imaging has been used for early breast cancer detection and risk prediction since the sixties. Examining thermograms for abnormal hyperthermia and hyper-vascularity patterns related to tumor growth is done by comparing images of contralateral breasts. Analysis can be tedious and challenging if the differences are subtle. The advanced computer technology available today can be utilized t...

Medical thermography has proved to be useful in various medical applications including the detection of breast cancer where it is able to identify the local temperature increase caused by the high metabolic activity of cancer cells. It has been shown to be particularly well suited for picking up tumors in their early stages or tumors in dense tissue and outperforms other modalities such as mamm...

background: the segmentation of cancerous areas in breast images is important for the early detection of disease. thermal imaging has advantages, such as being non-invasive, non-radiation, passive, quick, painless, inexpensive, and non-contact. imaging technique is the focus of this research. methods: the proposed model in this paper is a combination of surf and corners that are very resistant....

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 brin...

Objectives: Breast cancer is the prime reason for mortality in women across globe and India. Early screening to identify breast abnormality before actual symptoms are visible only effective way of reducing associated this can be accomplished by creating a large thermographic dataset with supporting clinical findings. thermography, which non-invasive, painless, non-toxic, cost-effective method, ...

Breast thermography is a physiological test that provides information based on the temperature changes in breast. It records the temperature distribution of a body using the infrared radiation emitted by the surface of that body. Precancerous tissue and the area around a cancerous tumor have higher temperature due to angiogenesis, and higher chemical and blood vessel activity than a normal brea...
