THERMOLOGY: ANALYTIC FEATURES

Thermology Signs are:

• Asymmetric and moderately hyperthermic vascular or focal patterns;
• Asymmetric and moderate complexity of a vascular pattern;
• Localized heat along a physical distortion of less than a quadrant of a breast (edge sign);
• Lack of an adaptive response of a distinct thermal pattern to the autonomic challenge procedure.

Thermology Criteria are:

• Asymmetric and significantly hyperthermic vascular or focal patterns;
• Asymmetric and significant complexity of a vascular pattern; 
• Localized heat along a physical distortion of more than a quadrant of a breast (edge sign);
• A paradoxical response of a distinct thermal pattern to the autonomic challenge procedure.
