[Improvement in the early detection of breast cancer by thermography].
In the last few years thermography lost some of its value in the diagnosis of breast cancer because of the changeover to x-ray mammography and ultrasound mammography. Nevertheless, it is still a very useful additional method, especially if the doctor can only perform a clinical examination. Combination of thermography and clinical examination produces better results. In case of pathological vascularisation, clinically occult carcinomas can be detected.
