[Validity of contact thermography in breast diagnosis].
Study has been carried out with "an plaque" thermographic method on 42 patients affected by carcinoma of the breast. From the data it's possible to distinguish two typical vascular findings: the greater anomalies and the smaller anomalies. With the above method we have had 92,85% positive test and 7,14% false negative tests for cancer. The value of these findings are discussed, first of all about their importance for diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer.
