Trial Information
Malignant breast neoplasms can secrete NO to induce focal vasodilatation and increased blood
flow and angiogenesis to the tumor, thus increase the focal temperature, which can be
evaluated by breast thermography (infrared imaging). We will evaluate the efficacy of
infrared imaging for detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, and if infrared imaging can
effectively differentiate malignant from benign breast dieases and the sensitivity,
specificity, false-negative rate will also be estimated.
