The authors present the results of breast examinations in 201 female patients controlled by cytology and histology. Based on their results obtained by an AGA 680 type infrared thermography, their conclusion was that the method is primarily suitable for the examination of biological thermogenesis, one of the functional characteristics of tumours. Some T1 breast cancer of the same histological type are thermographically "silent", i.e. display no pathological alterations. Thermographical signs characteristic of carcinomas are to be found only in 60-70% of the cases. It is explained by the biological heterogeneity of tumours, i.e. the amount of heat generated by the metabolic processes of the different carcinomas is not equal, as well as they are different in vascularization and as a consequence of it in their heat conduction parameters. Similar reasons explain the appearance of different thermographic patterns--negative or characteristic of cancerous alterations--in proliferative mastopathies.
作者介绍了201例接受细胞学和组织学检查的女性患者的乳房检查结果。根据他们通过AGA 680型红外热成像获得的结果，他们得出的结论是，该方法主要适用于检查肿瘤的功能特征之一——生物热生成。一些相同组织学类型的T1期乳腺癌在热成像上是“无异常的”，即没有显示出病理改变。癌的特征性热成像征象仅在60%-70%的病例中出现。这是由肿瘤的生物异质性所解释的，即不同癌的代谢过程产生的热量不等，并且它们在血管化方面不同，因此在热传导参数方面也不同。类似的原因解释了在增生性乳腺病中出现不同热成像模式——阴性或癌性改变特征——的原因。
