Definitions

  • Fig. 8b is a gray scale map image of the patient shown in Fig. 8a wherein temperature vs. time curves having slopes greater than the slope of temperature vs. time curves associated with the color red are mapped to a shade of gray according to their slope and the color red is illustrated by a red color symbol;
  • Fig. 9 is a gray scale map image of breasts of another patient having jagged vasculature;
  • Fig. 10 is a schematic drawing of the patient shown in Fig. 7 including a sternum mirror below and lateral mirrors on opposite sides of the patient's breasts;
  • each patient data file includes frames 94 of IR image data obtained over an imaging interval as well as other patient data, e.g., lifestyle habits, medical history and other risk factors, pertinent to an analysis of whether the patient is at risk for contracting breast cancer.
  • each patient data file is stored as a unique object in a relational database that is distributed among the computers of the distributed data system.
  • Data obtained from detector 28 and/or staring array 148 can be utilized to determine axes of symmetry of contralateral muscles groups, dermatomes and thermatomes. Statistical methods can be utilized to determine whether there are statistically significant differences in the IR radiation from comparable contralateral areas. If so, the analysis is continued to determine whether there are statistically significant differences between symmetrical areas within each contralateral group.
