Thermographic Images of Breast conditions.

	NORMAL Good thermal symmetry with no suspicious thermal findings. These patterns represent a baseline that won't alter over time and can only be changed by pathology.

	FIBROCYSTIC Significant vascular activity in the left breast which was clinically correlated with fibrocystic changes.

	DUCTAL CARCINOMA The vascular asymmetry in the upper left breast was particularly suspicious and clinical investigation indicated a palpable mass. A biopsy was performed and a DCIS of 2cm was diagnosed.

	BASELINE Baseline thermogram showed a slight hyperthermic asymmetry in the upper right breast.

	3 MONTHS The follow-up study at 3 months showed the pattern had become more well defined. Mammography was inconclusive.

	12 MONTHS Significantly increased vascular changes. Repeat mammogram showed a small calcification (1 mm) at 1 o'clock. A lumpectomy was performed confirming a malignant carcinoma (DCIS).
