Abstract:
A new method in medicine for detecting and investigating the illness like breast cancer is the Infrared Thermographic Imaging. An infrared thermal camera takes a temperature map of human body. The exact localization of specific areas from 2-dimensions thermal map is difficult and implies an invasive intervention of medicine doctors. In order to automate this process a special scanner for acquire a 4-dimensions map is used and consist of the 3-D scanner and the temperature sensor. In present paper an example of acquisitions the 4-D temperature map in the breast region is presented.
