Detection of Differentiated Tissue with Pulse Thermography

Abstract

We report on the study of the relationship between the length of the pulses and the depth of the boundary to be detected in thermally transmissive tissues within the therapeutic window, red to IR spectral range. We use a three-layer theory to predict the possibility of detection of an abnormal growth. Shallow cancerous growthOne of the first applications of the thermography in the seventies was the diagnosis of the breast center. In the following thirty years, novel and more sensitive thermographic cameras became available, often used for concurrent and complementary diagnosis with the x-ray imaging.[1, 2] The survival rate of this type of cancer has shown significant improvement in women, while it has an appreciably lower 5-year survival rate in men than in women, even though the lesion location is shallower for men.
