“…Infrared imaging is better than the standard method of mammography for early detection of breast cancer [56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63]. The temperature of cancer cells are elevated due to their high metabolic activity making it easier to capture by thermography [97].…”

“…Thermography has been a part of diagnosis in various medical fields. Its use in angiography [51][52][53], heart surgery [54,55], and for prevention and early detection of breast cancer [56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63] is well established. IR thermography has been used to observe and measure the temperature gradient of bone [64][65][66][67] and dental implants [68,69] when subjected to drilling.…”

Lock-in thermography, combined with finite element analysis and experimental testing, was used to investigate the stress/strain pattern in a novel composite hip implant made of carbon fibre and polyamide 12 (CF/PA12). In this study, the geometry of the hip implant was first modelled and analysed in ANSYS workbench 11. Different virtual loads of 800N, 1400N and 2200N were applied on the finite element model of the hip stem at an adduction angle of 15º, thereby replicating the present experimental setup. The values of strains obtained were confirmed by replicating the experiment by using strain gauges. A Pearson's correlation (R²=0.98) was obtained, which indicated good agreement between the FEA model and experimental hip stem. The hip implant was again subjected to similar loading conditions, and stresses were recorded by using a thermal camera at corresponding vertices. The comparison of results showed good agreement between the values of stress calculated from the strain gauge experiment and stress obtained from thermography. This study showed that it was possible to find stresses in a hip implant reliably by thermography.

“…Most of the changes occurring during the first trimester are named symptoms, while those which occur during the two trimesters are signs specific to pregnancy. The most frequent physical transformations that can be experimented during pregnancy are: absence of menses, morning nauseas, pronounced fatigue condition, cephalalgia, modifications and leaks at the breasts level, frequent urination, constipation, dyspnoea, Braxton Hicks contractions, affections of gum and teeth, skin affections specific to pregnancy, cramps at the level of inferior abdomen, dizziness, nauseas, back pains, eyesight alterations, increasing heart pulse, problems with blood circulation, affection of the respiratory tract [3].…”

The paper is presenting a study regarding the evolution of the mammary gland during the woman pregnancy using the only non-invasive investigation methods: infrared thermography and microwave radiometry. The cell thermogenesis is explored using a thermography method under the conditions of thickness or health, and permits to reveal some affections or the early detection of the risk to pathology status. During pregnancy any exposure to ionizing radiation is forbidden. If a mammary pathology is developed during the pregnancy period, only the thermography and radiometry techniques can be used in order to monitor the mammary glands. Using these methods possible physiological or pathological modifications can be detected. On this study, we found that if the pregnancy is closer to the final delivery date, the breasts temperatures gets higher and the galactofore channels are more pronounced in the IR imaging.
