Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers globally. Thermography is an FDA-approved non-ionizing remote breast cancer screening modality for early breast abnormality (and cancer) detection. The introduction of thermography for breast cancer detection has stirred a debate among medical experts, physicians, and engineers questioning the use of thermography as a standalone diagnostic tool for breast cancer detection. With the advancement of engineering technologies such as the quality of thermal cameras and enhanced breast abnormality detection algorithms, the time might be ripe to reconsider thermography as a viable choice for breast cancer screening. This article discusses the issues existing in the field of breast cancer detection using thermography from an engineering perspective and possible solutions to address the issues.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
