Thermography as an Economical Alternative Modality to Mammography for Early Detection of Breast Cancer

Abstract: Breast cancer has become a menacing form of cancer among women accounting for 11.6% of total deaths of 9.6 million due to all types of cancer every year all over the world. Early detection increases chances of survival and reduces the cost of treatment as well. Screening modalities such as mammography or thermography are used to detect cancer early; thus, several lives can be saved with timely treatment. But, there are interpretational failures on the part of the radiologists to read the mammograms or thermogr… Show more

“…Thermalytix, with the help of the automatic scoring and image interpretation of potential vascularity and malignancies, can help clinicians make better decisions and improve care quality in a radiation-free and affordable manner. Consequently, thermography has advanced significantly to match mammography's level of accuracy [41]. Thus, it is believed that the thermalytix technique is on edge to be a potential approach for screening breast cancer.…”

“…O câncer de mama frequentemente causa um aumento no fluxo sanguíneo e metabolismo da mama, resultando em alterac ¸ões locais de temperatura que podem ser detectadas por imagens de sensores na frequência infravermelho (IR) [Santos et al 2023]. A termografia é uma técnica não invasiva que usa IR para medir variac ¸ões de temperatura no corpo, tornando-se uma alternativa a outras técnicas que usam radiac ¸ão ionizante ou exigem contato direto com o paciente [Kennedy et al 2009, Khan andArora 2021].…”
