Abstract
The thermographic pattern of the human female breast in health is sufficiently constant so that it can be readily identified in an individual not only from week to week during the menstrual cycle, but actually from year to year. There is frequently a dissimilarity in the patterns of the two breasts of an individual. In only half of the cases studied was there an indication of correlation of the thermogram with the phase of the menstrual cycle. The question is posed whether the establishment of a baseline thermogram might be important for comparison purposes at a future time for either an annual breast survey or examinations for clinical symptoms.Keywords
