[Comparative evaluation of thermographic and radiothermometric methods of examination during mass screening of women with dyshormonal hyperplasia of the breast].

The article deals with the results of prehospital appraisal of hyperplasia of the mammary glands in 364 females by means of infrared thermovision techniques and UHF-radiothermometry. The thermovision and radiothermometric signs of this pathological condition are described. Examination conducted in the course of the disease twice in 52% and 3 to 4 times in 30% of cases showed radiothermometry to be highly informative in optimization of the management of patients with mastopathy. The feature of the thermal metabolic process in cancer was revealed. The proposed radiothermometric method may be used as an auxiliary criterion for appraising the condition of the mammary tissues.
