An instrument (telediaphanograph) for examination of the female breast has been developed which is optically based and carries no risk to the patient. Malignant lesions, which are strongly light absorbing, can be visualized by dark shadows cast on the superior aspect of the breast. The discriminating ability of telediaphanography for carcinoma has been investigated in relation to 129 patients with suspected breast disease. The sensitivity was found to be 0.94 and the specificity 0.89.
