The use of thermography in breast cancer detection is reviewed. Although advantageous in its total lack of radiation exposure to the patient, thermography has limitations in that significant false-positive and false-negative cancer detection rates have been demonstrated. The potential use of thermography in evaluation of the pathogenesis of breast cancer and in identifying women at high risk is discussed.
本文综述了热成像技术在乳腺癌检测中的应用。尽管热成像技术的优势在于完全不会让患者受到辐射暴露，但它也存在局限性，因为已经证实其癌症检测的假阳性和假阴性率都很高。本文还讨论了热成像技术在评估乳腺癌发病机制以及识别高危女性方面的潜在应用。
