Abstract :
The aim is to investigate differences of thermal texture mapping (TTM) between benign and malignant breast diseases. After receiving TTM, 100 patients were categorized into three groups in normal patient, benign change and malignant lesion. TTM demonstrated that the malignant lesion mostly appeared thermal features and deeper layer position with surrounding or penetrating vessels, and irregular thermal spread pattern with spinal margin in breast; there also appeared deeper layer abnormal thermal source in axilla and abnormal thermal pattern with circular, asteroid and agaric-like shape fixed near the left side of Angle of Louise of the sternum, which was irrelative to abnormal thermoradiation and lesion position in breast. Therefore, the difference of TTM appearance definitely exists between benign and malignant breast diseases.
