Over 800
peer-reviewed studies on
thermography exist in the index-medicus
literature.
Strict standardized interpretation
protocols have been established for
over 15 years.
For instance, radiography and
ultrasonography refer to anatomy.
Thermography, however, is based on
thermodynamics and thermokinetics,
which are unfamiliar to most
physicians, though |
|
man is experiencing heat
production and exchange in every situation he undergoes or
creates.
Considering the contribution that
thermography has demonstrated thus
far in the field of early cancer
detection, all possibilities should
be considered for promoting further
technical, biological, and clinical
research in this procedure. |

Infrared imaging offers a safe,
noninvasive procedure that would be
valuable as an adjunct to
mammography in determining whether a
lesion is benign or malignant with a
99% predictive value.
