Mammary congestion is mainly a painful syndrome, principally related to diffuse edema of the gland, the radiological signs of which are described in this report. Excellent validity can be obtained by a trained observer of these signs. In contrast, however, thermographic signs are of less value, probably due to the presence of a more or less abundant superficial edema. This interferes with thermal propagation towards the skin covering, and could be the cause of the superficial hypothermia which is recorded in one third of patients with definite clinical congestion. Hormonal disturbances are observed frequently enough in this syndrome for them to be considered responsible for a large proportion of the congestive and edemaotus phenomena. Observation of these signs enables a choice of therapy to be made, but this is not discussed in this report.
乳腺充血主要是一种疼痛综合征，主要与腺体的弥漫性水肿有关，本报告描述了其放射学征象。训练有素的观察者对这些征象的判断具有很高的准确性。然而，相比之下，热成像征象的价值较小，可能是由于或多或少存在大量的浅表水肿。这会干扰热量向覆盖皮肤的传播，可能是三分之一有明确临床充血症状的患者记录到浅表体温过低的原因。在该综合征中经常观察到激素紊乱，以至于认为它们是导致大部分充血和水肿现象的原因。对这些征象的观察有助于选择治疗方法，但本报告不对此进行讨论。
