<p>A method for measuring the periodicity of changes in blood perfusion over large regions of skin so as to identify a locally impaired neuronal control, thereby providing a quick and inexpensive screening test for relatively shallow neoplastic lesions, such as breast cancer, is described. The present method is predicated on infrared imaging of the skin to detect changes in the spectral structure and spatial distribution of thermoregulatory frequencies (TRFs) over different areas of the skin.</p> |
