[Mammographic and thermographic diagnosis of breast cancer].
2731 mammography and thermography results were analyzed. The radiological examination could be histologically verified 468 times. The diagnosis made by means of mammography was wrong in 42%, by thermography in 52%. In this group only 3 occult carcinomas were discovered mammographically. A wide range of indications of mammography applied hitherto therefore becomes doubtful. It is recommended to assign all palpable tumours of the female breast directly to the surgeon without mammography.
