摘      要：Purpose: This study is in an attempt to assess the diagnostic accuracy of infrared lightscanning by comparing with that of mammograpby- Methods: A total of 104 patients had been examined by both mammography and infrared lightscanning before *** Patients were divided into two groups: cancer and non cancer. The diagnostic accuracy of these two modalities were calculated. Results: Of 104 Patients, 43 had breast cancer and 61 had benign lesions, the sensitivity and specificity for mammography were 84% and 83%, 82% and 77% for infrared lightscanning. The predictive values of positivity for mammograpby and lightscanning were 80% and 70%, the negative Predictive value for these two modalities were both 87%. Conclusion: Infrared lightscanning,being of assistance to mammography, could enhance sensitivity and predictive values of positivity in detecting breast cancer, especially, in mammographically dense breast.
