Early pictures of breast cancer

Breast cancer is a malignant disease that seriously threatens women's health and life, but not all breast cancer patients are women. Among breast cancer patients, women account for the majority, so when men find abnormal changes in their breasts, they should seek medical attention in time. Breast cancer has no obvious clinical manifestations and signs in the early stages, so it is easy to be ignored. However, the early stage is still the best time to treat the disease, so early detection and early treatment are very important.

Ultrasound imaging: Ultrasound imaging is non-destructive and can be used repeatedly. Ultrasound imaging is more valuable for those with dense breast tissue, but its main purpose is to distinguish whether the mass is cystic or solid. The strong echo band formed by the infiltration of the tumor into the surrounding tissue, the destruction of the normal breast structure, and the local thickening or depression of the skin above the mass are all important reference indicators for diagnosing breast cancer.
Thermal imaging: Use images to display the temperature distribution on the body surface. Since cancer cells have abundant blood supply, the corresponding body surface temperature is higher than that of surrounding tissues, and this difference can be used to make a diagnosis. However, this diagnostic method lacks accurate image standards, the abnormal thermal area does not correspond to the tumor, and the diagnostic consistency rate is poor. It has been used less and less in recent years.
Near-infrared scanning: Shadows with multiple grayscale centers ranging from light to dark gray or even black can be seen on the monitor screen. They may be larger than the actual tumor, with unclear boundaries and irregular shapes. At the same time, they are accompanied by abnormal vascular shadows, which are thick, twisted, interrupted, radial, strip-shaped, rat-tail-shaped or tadpole-shaped.
