The results of clinical and thermographic examinations of 2702 patients clarified by histology are described. The accuracy rate of thermography is 67.8% for malignant and 70.6% for benign lesions. False negative findings were given in 13.9%, false positive in 6.8%. The false positive rate depends mainly on inflammation, cysts or proliferation.
