METHOD FOR SETTING EARLY STAGE MAMMARY GLAND TUMOR DISEASE DIAGNOSIS Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61B5/01 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves measuring superficial mammary glands temperature in women in horizontal position by means of contact method in a plurality of points using transducers. The transducers are arranged on common matrix sensor unit and connected to computer for building temperature distribution map on mammary gland surfaces. The map is designed on display unit screen by means of computer program recording temperature readings received from the transducers. Diagnostic parameters are calculated and evaluated. Conclusions are drawn on deviations from norm being detected. The matrix sensor transducers are brought in engagement with the whole both mammary gland surfaces with equal force and at the same time. Temperature values are recorded every 1 s by means of computer program and distributed temperature maps are fixed until heat equilibrium is achieved in contact area. Telemetric intellectual microprocessor transducers are used as the matrix sensor transducers. The transducers are connected to computer via common three-wired bus and arranged on the matrix sensor allowing independent axial displacement.

EFFECT: high accuracy in plotting temperature distribution maps; high performance characteristics; complete examination safety.
