What is it about?

The potential of thermography with ANN for early breast cancer detection is promising. Development of the health record database and refinement of the prediction mechanism to automatically analyze the likelihood of breast cancer development based on the thermographs, patient records, similar medical cases, physiologic data, genetic information, etc is necessary as such an intelligent system would not only lighten the decision burden of the clinician, but also lead to early treatment of patients with breast cancer.

Why is it important?

Such an intelligent IR system would not only lighten the decision burden of the clinician, but also lead to early treatment of patients with breast cancer.

Perspectives
