Abstract
26 patients with nonpalpable breast cancer were examined by thermography. 15 patients (55%) were correctly diagnosed by thermography at steady state, 4 patients (14%) were correctly diagnosed by the aid of dynamic thermography and 3 patients (11%) were correctly diagnosed by the aid of μ-thermography. Background of diagnosis of small cancer by thermography at steady state as well as dynamic and μ-thermography was studied
