  1. Inexpensive and Accessible Thermal Imaging for the Detection of Cancer INFRANOSTICS Angela Fan Ben Wang Mark Bucklin Nancy Diao OlufunkeLaseinde

  2. Methods Used to Screen and Monitor for Cancer A Problem and a Solution • A Device That Will: • Current Methods • Measure Skin-Surface Temperature • Expensive • Report Topographic Location • Uncomfortable • Be Inexpensive • Inconvenient • Software That Will: • Rely on Presence of Tumor not Growth of Tumor • Map and Record Spatial Temperature Fluctuations • Recognize Patterns of Carcinoma Development

  3. Common Detecting Cancer: Current Methods • Mammography • Self Exam • Ultrasound • Less Common • MRI • PET/CT • Thermography From top left, clockwise: Mammogram (Harvey), Breast Self Exam, Ultrasound of the breast (Tiefenbacher), MRI of the breast with T1 contrast and fat reduction (Harvery), Combined PET and CT (Lavayssiere), Breast Thermogram (http://www.aathermography.com)

  4. CMOS Focal Plane Array Cameras Thermography • ~10 μm IR radiation at 36º C • FDA Approved for Screening Alongside Mammograms • Particularly good at screening for • Breast Cancer • Pain • Neurological Disorders Top to Bottom: Angiogenesis (http://www.gene.com/gene/research/focusareas/oncology/angiogenesis.html), Breast Thermogram (http://www.thermogramcenter.com/Images.htm)

  5. Similar Devices Handheld Optical Scanner Thermal Imaging Camera Single-Sensor Thermography System • Near Infrared Absorbance • Drexel/Upenn • In Clinical Trials Left: Material from Drexel/Upenn device by Chance, B (http://www.biomed.drexel.edu/new04/Content/ProgressReport/fnir_breastcancer.pdf) , Center:Nec TS9100 Thermal Imaging Camera (www.metrum.co.uk) , Thermal Body Scan (http://thermalbodyscan.com/DITI.aspx).

  8. Design Concept #1 Handheld Device • Thermopiles • Optoelectronic Sensors • Gyro/Accelerometer • IR Tracker CPU • Process position • Display Coverage • Store Temperature • Give Directions • Diagnose via Pattern Recognition User Designed with help from: http://gfx-3d-model.blogspot.com/2008/06/laptop-01.htmlhttp://www.linkwitzlab.com/Pluto/w-asp-pcb.jpg

  9. Design Concept #2 • Advantages • Form-fitting, stationary devices allows the surveyed area to be easily mapped • User will be familiar with and the device form • Material will be comfortable. • Disadvantages • Needs to be made for a variety of breast sizes. Designed with help from: http://gfx-3d-model.blogspot.com/2008/06/laptop-01.htmlhttp://www.linkwitzlab.com/Pluto/w-asp-pcb.jpg

  10. Design Concept #3 • Advantages • No complex tracking needed since device would be stationary • Flexible material is suitable for a range of breast sizes • Disadvantages • May be large, and unwieldy • May be uncomfortable
