Abstract

The paper dwells on the new method of diagnosing space-occupying lesions at early stages – thermal imaging, which has certain advantages over the conventional ultrasound and mammography. The paper presents thermal imaging results of 154 women aged 40–75 years. The patients underwent breast thermography, ultrasound examination and mammography.

Keywords
