While thermography is now used extensively to detect breast cancer and measure metastases, those who tout the use of this diagnostic procedure also note that this type of thermal imaging can spot certain types of cancerous masses long before more conventional imaging techniques, including mesothelioma disease.

Digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI), also known as medical thermal imaging is welcoming a new era. It is a non-contact, non-invasive diagnostic method for study human body temperature. Medical thermography started in 1957 with the discoveries of Dr. Lawson in breast cancer patients. Dr. Lawson found that when using medical thermal imaging, most of his patients with breast cancer had higher skin temperature over the cancer area.

People with severe motor impairments often require an alternative access pathway, such as a binary switch, to communicate and to interact with their environment. A wide range of access pathways have been developed from simple mechanical switches to sophisticated physiological ones. In this manuscript we report the inaugural investigation of infrared thermography as a non-invasive and non-contact access pathway by which individuals with disabilities can interact and perhaps eventually communicate.

Mathematical modelling and analysis is now accepted in the engineering design on par with experimental approaches. Computer simulations enable one to perform several 'what-if' analyses cost effectively. High speed computers and low cost of memory has helped in simulating large-scale models in a relatively shorter time frame. The possibility of extending numerical modelling in the area of breast cancer detection in conjunction with medical thermography is considered in this work.

In 1971, Bom et al1 developed one of the first catheter-based real-time imaging techniques for use in the cardiac system. In placing a set of phased-array ultrasound transducers within the cardiac chambers, Bom and colleagues showed that higher frequencies than those used in transthoracic ultrasound imaging could be used to produce high-resolution images of cardiac structures. By the late 1980s, Yock et al2 had successfully miniaturized a single-transducer system to enable transducer placement within coronary arteries. Since then, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has become a pivotal catheter-based imaging technology, having provided practical guidance for percutaneous interventions and scientific insights into vascular biology in clinical settings. Technical developments currently being explored consist of further device improvements, a variety of advanced image analyses, and the extension of this ultrasound-based approach to diverse intravascular imaging techniques with other energy sources.
