Abstract
A system detecting cancerous and precancerous pathologies includes a blood flow affecting compound introducible into an arterial and venous area of tissue in an area to be examined, a temperature sensor operably disposed on the area capable of sensing and generating a signal indicative of temperature sensed, and a computer-based device operably associated with the temperature sensor for receiving and manipulating the signal in a manner for generating a thermo-physiological data signal indicative of precancerous and cancerous conditions in the sensed area.
Claims4
A system for detection of cancerous and precancerous pathologies, which includes:
- a blood flow affecting compound introducible into an arterial and venous area of tissue in an area to be examined;
- a temperature sensing device operably disposed on the area capable of sensing and generating a signal indicative of temperature sensed;
- and
- a computer-based device operably associated with the temperature sensing device for receiving and manipulating the signal in a manner for generating a thermo-physiological data signal indicative of precancerous and cancerous conditions in the sensed area.
A method for detection of cancerous and precancerous pathologies in a tissue area of a subject, which includes the steps of:
- introducing a blood flow affecting compound an arterial and venous area of tissue in an area to be examined within the subject;
- sensing temperature in said area;
- generating a signal indicative of temperature sensed;
- employing a computer-based device in a manner to be operably associated with the temperature sensor for receiving and manipulating the signal in a manner for generating a thermo-physiological data signal indicative of precancerous and cancerous conditions in the sensed area.
