METHOD FOR VISUALIZING INTERNAL AND SURFACE TEMPERATURE DATA OF HUMAN BREAST TISSUE

摘要

A method for rendering a 3D model of a patient's breast includes: accessing a breast temperature profile representing a temperature distribution across a surface of a patient's breast; generating a 3D model of the patient's breast; overlaying the breast temperature profile onto the 3D model of the patient's breast to generate a 3D temperature profile for the patient's breast; evaluating a thermodynamic model on the 3D temperature profile to estimate the internal temperature distribution within the patient's breast; evaluating a diagnostic model on the internal temperature distribution to estimate a location and a size of a tumor within the patient's breast; and rendering a visual 3D model of the patient's breast representing the location and the size of the tumor within the patient's breast.
