Surface Simulation

An imaging method comprising: receiving 22 a spatial thermal representation of a curved body section, such as one or more breasts, wherein the spatial thermal representation comprises a thermal image associated with spatial data; and generating 30 a theoretical thermal simulation of the curved body section, wherein said generating of the theoretical thermal simulation is based on the spatial data of the representation and on predetermined thermodynamic logic of a type of the curved body section. The method may comprise comparing 36 the spatial thermal representation and the theoretical thermal simulation and may comprise detecting an anomaly, such as a tumor, based on the comparison. The method may comprise a cold stress test. The spatial thermal representation may be obtained using a thermal camera (224 Figure 6A) and a visible light imaging device (222 Figure 6A).
