The paper is presenting a study regarding the evolution of the mammary gland during the woman pregnancy using the only non-invasive investigation methods: infrared thermography and microwave radiometry. The cell thermogenesis is explored using a thermography method under the conditions of thickness or health, and permits to reveal some affections or the early detection of the risk to pathology status. During pregnancy any exposure to ionizing radiation is forbidden. If a mammary pathology is developed during the pregnancy period, only the thermography and radiometry techniques can be used in order to monitor the mammary glands. Using these methods possible physiological or pathological modifications can be detected. On this study, we found that if the pregnancy is closer to the final delivery date, the breasts temperatures gets higher and the galactofore channels are more pronounced in the IR imaging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
