THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA AS A DIAGNOSTIC INSTRUMENT, WHICH PROVIDES SELF-CONTROL MAMMARY GLANDS IN THE DOMESTIC ENVIRONME

The most effective method of early diagnosis of tumors of mammary glands is selfcontrol. To develop practical recommendations for self-monitoring of the breast in everyday life the study included the analysis of scientific and patent literature, original technical solutions, with an assessment of their strengths and weaknesses. It is shown that for selfcontrol of the breast in everyday life the most suitable way is to monitor the color range of the infrared image of the breast using a thermal imager during and after air blowing air with a hair dryer in a room temperature. Principle of the method is based on the fact that tumors violate uniformity of structure of tissues, their thermal conductivity and/or heat. For examples the study reviewed clinical cases of self-control of the mammary glands in patients with breast tumor and without cancer. Identified steadiness of change in local temperature and color images of breast tissue allows to confirm the absence of lesions and the presence of a zone of unevenness and asymmetry of the local temperature and color images to diagnose a modified thermal conductivity or heat tissue glands and assume the presence of neoplasm in its projection. Thus, for domestic self-control of mammary glands it is advised to monitor the colour range of infrared thermal images on the screen during and after air blowing. When it is assumed that monocolor gland is indicative of the homogeneity of its structure, and multi-colored image of the gland suggests the presence of tumors.
