Transillumination of the breast is a noninvasive procedure that is being tested as an imaging technique for evaluation of breast disease, differentiating benign from malignant lesions, and as a possible screening modality. The average normal breast when transilluminated in a darkened room has a reddish-yellow color that is reproduced with remarkable fidelity on infrared film. Differences of color, shading, and blood vessel caliber are criteria for the recognition of various breast lesions. The diaphanographic findings in approximately 200 women have been compared with the interpretations based upon mammography and thermography. To date the level of accuracy reported by some investigators (Di Maggio et al, Italy; Ohlsson et al, Sweden; Wallberg and Alveryd, Sweden) has not been achieved in our series of histologically proved malignant and benign lesions. Diaphanography can be useful as a complementary technique in examination of the breast, but its potential as a single screening test appears limited.
乳腺透照是一种非侵入性检查方法，目前正作为一种成像技术进行测试，用于评估乳腺疾病、鉴别良性与恶性病变，并作为一种可能的筛查方式。在暗室中对正常乳腺进行透照时，其呈现出红黄色，在红外胶片上能极为逼真地再现。颜色、阴影及血管管径的差异是识别各种乳腺病变的标准。已将约200名女性的透照造影结果与基于乳房X线摄影和热成像的诊断结果进行了比较。迄今为止，我们这组经组织学证实的恶性和良性病变中，尚未达到一些研究者（意大利的迪马乔等人；瑞典的奥尔松等人；瑞典的瓦尔贝里和阿尔维里德）所报告的准确率水平。透照造影可作为乳腺检查的一种辅助技术，但作为单一筛查测试，其潜力似乎有限。
