Abstract

This paper will compare diagnostic values of thermal texture mapping (TTM), mammography and ultrasound in relating breast disease. Using pathological finding as gold standard, the results were compared with that of TTM, mammography and ultrasound. There being 25 cases of malignant and 13 cases of benign, the correlation rate of TTM with pathological finding (100%, 96%) respectively, were superior to the correlation rate of mammography , ultrasound with pathological finding (88.9%, 63.6%, 90.5%, 63.6%). TTM, on the differential diagnosis of breast disease, were superior to mammography and ultrasound.
