Clinical Breast Cancer Analysis with Surface Fitting in the Medical Thermal Texture Maps

Abstract:

This thesis tries to calculate quantity and distribution of heat source in vivo from body surface temperature. A superposition temperature image of a number of point heat sources is surface fitted to get the Q of heat sources (information of cancer cells) quantitatively. More precisely, surface fitting the surface of temperature distribution based on T formula of multiple heat sources with MTLAB software. The result can reflect the disease area information because cancer cell’s Q value is much higher than that of normal cell. This application is a new try in the diagnosis of breast cancer, has an important value on the early detection and diagnosis of disease source.
