G. Lauth, G. Mühlberger—Atlas der Plattenthermographie, 1976, Herausgeber: CAWO GmbH, Bremen, Germany. Authors examined 10,000 women with LC Thermography (Liquid crystal thermography) from 1972 to 1975 and by excision or fine needle method did find, from 988 cases, 261 carcinomes. More than 100 coloured images show the importance of cooling the breast during examination with a cooling air blower. However, there are no standards to define the degree of cooling and, therefore, it is impossible to gain reproducible images. If one will reach a high sensitivity and specificity it takes a very long time and a great deal of experience to interpret thermographic images.
