Evaluation of Mammary Cancer in 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-Induced Wister Rats by Asymmetrical Temperature Distribution Analysis Using Thermography: A Comparison with Serum CEA Levels and Histopathology
Figure 1
Average skin temperature in different regions (a) in the tumor induced lower flank region, (b) in the abdomen region, and (c) in the shoulder region. Mean ± SD temperature values (week wise) for 6 tumor induced rats from the specific ROIs of right and left side for all regions (lower flank region, abdomen region, and shoulder region) were plotted. There was difference in temperature observed between right and left flank regions. Tumor induced right side (lower right flank side) temperature was less in all the weeks. There was no difference in temperature observed between right and left side of abdomen and shoulder regions.
