An interdisciplinary study was carried out to determine the accuracy of contact thermography in the detection of breast cancer. 200 patients were examined in form of a blind test, the mammographic and clinical findings being listed separately and inaccessible to the thermography team. The findings obtained on contact thermography also were listed separately and afterwards compared with the clinical and mammographic findings. 50 out of these 200 cases required histological clarification, which revealed 24 carcinomas and 26 benign conditions of the breast. Mammography and contact thermography both failed to detect 3 out of the 24 carcinomas, clinical examination gave a false negative result in 2 cases. Therefore, in the present case material, the accuracy of mammography and contact thermography is equal and enables us to state that the combination of clinical examination and contact thermography of the breast is of high accuracy and suited for routine mass screening programmes to enable the detection of breast disease without radiation exposure.
开展了一项跨学科研究，以确定接触式热成像技术在乳腺癌检测中的准确性。对200名患者进行了盲法检测，乳房X线摄影和临床检查结果分别列出，热成像团队无法获取这些结果。接触式热成像技术获得的结果也单独列出，随后与临床和乳房X线摄影结果进行比较。这200例病例中有50例需要组织学确诊，结果显示有24例为乳腺癌，26例为乳房良性病变。乳房X线摄影和接触式热成像技术均未能检测出24例乳腺癌中的3例，临床检查有2例假阴性结果。因此，在本病例材料中，乳房X线摄影和接触式热成像技术的准确性相当，这使我们能够指出，乳房临床检查和接触式热成像技术相结合具有很高的准确性，适用于常规大规模筛查项目，能够在不进行辐射暴露的情况下检测出乳房疾病。
