I am also seeing women told following a thermogram that they are likely to have breast cancer, when they don't.

Often the live thermogram reveals temperature variations so clearly that a photograph is not necessary for analysis.

So if there is a cool area in the thermogram, that object will be absorbing the radiation emitted by the warm object.

Of the 1,260 patients with more than one positive thermogram from 1973 to 1976, 1.9% subsequently developed breast cancer from 1977 to 1983.

That finding was not statistically significantly different from the 1.3% of patients who developed cancer and never had a positive thermogram.

In patients with certain neurological disease such as multiple sclerosis, the body does not properly regulates temperature, which can be detected by a thermogram.
