Evaluation and feasibility of diagnostic heatflow imaging in patients with palpable breast lesions: a pilot study
Heat flow imaging is a feasible imaging method that may serve as a supplementary diagnostic tool for breast cancer detection in patients with palpable breast lesions. However, it is still considered an experimental method and its use should be limited in the context of clinical trials. Further research involving larger patient groups is required to validate these preliminary findings and to optimize image acquisition protocols.
