How accurate is Digital Infrared BreastScan?
Digital Infrared BreastScan has already been or is being tested at Yale, Cornell and Cambridge University hospitals in women with abnormalities. In the published study from Cornell Digital Infrared BreastScan picked up 97% of breast cancers. Earlier versions of infrared technology (not digital) depended heavily on the interpretation of the person analysing the pictures taken which often lead to misinterpretation. This risk is now minimised by applying state-of the-art algorithms.
