Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Breast cancer detected by thermal imaging scan in Edinburgh
Camera Obscura & World of Illusions is a popular tourist attraction in the Old Town, Edinburgh, Scotland. It has more than 100 interactive exhibits, including the original Camera Obscura (the very ancestor of the photographic camera), on five floors. From the rooftop terrace, the visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the old town.
When a woman from England went into the thermal imaging camera room of the museum, she noticed her left breast showed a different color. She worried about it and went to the doctor, and was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. She had to undergo two surgeries is scheduled to have another one, but she will be fine without further chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Since blood flow and metabolism are higher in a cancer tumor, skin temperature around the tumor tends to be higher than the other part of the body. Though thermal imaging isn’t usually used as a diagnostic tool, it worked in her case.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about this fortunate visit to the camera museum.
