  • Title: [The value of liquid crystal thermography in the detection of breast cancer by the gynaecologist (author's transl)].
    Author: Gitsch E.
    Journal: Wien Klin Wochenschr; 1976 Nov 26; 88(22):737-40. PubMed ID: 997550.
    Abstract:
    A report is present of 1300 unselected patients investigated for breast cancer by liquid crystal thermography. The value of this method is comparable to the value of mammography, since the number of carcinomas which remained undetected by each diagnostic procedure was equal. The high degree of diagnostic accuracy achieved by the use of liquid crystal thermography indicates that this simple dignostic procedure is recommendable as a screening method for the detection of breast cancer in gynaecological practice.
