METHOD FOR SEMI-AUTOMATIC DIAGNOSIS OF BREAST PATHOLOGIES Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A61B5/01 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: stationary gradient field of mammary glands skin temperature is scanned by a contact temperature sensor of the "Volumetric Thermal Diagraph" device (VTD) through the holes in an elastic mask. The obtained results are processed by comparing the data obtained during scanning with the data obtained as a result of statistical processing of control groups of patients with normal state, fibrocystic mastopathy of the left and right mammary glands, and right and left mammary glands cancer. The comparison data are output to the computer screen in the form of an epicrisis. The following parameters are taken into account in the diagnosis: the distance from the isothermal poles to the tumour center in percent relative to the mammary gland radius, the angle of isothermal poles deviation from the horizontal line, the depth of isothermal poles along the normal line to the mammary gland skin surface, the temperature in the tumor center, the ratio of tumour projection are to the mammary gland area on thermograms.

EFFECT: method provides diagnostics of benign and malignant mammary gland formations.
