Abstract


Background: Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) of the breast is the most common type of breast cancer in women. Imaging by mammography and/or ultrasonography and histo-pathological examination are collectively used to confirm a diagnosis of IDC. However, the standard imaging modalities are resource intensive and hence, have limited feasibility in resource-limited countries. Thermalytix, an affordable, radiation-free test is a novel Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered breast cancer detection tool that has shown effectiveness in detecting breast cancer in both symptomatic and asymptomatic women. Case Presentation: We describe two cases of symptomatic women who, on Thermalytix, were identified with a lesion suspicious of malignancy and confirmed as IDC on further evaluation by standard of care imaging and tissue diagnosis. Conclusion: Thermalytix, a new AI-based computer diagnostic solution (Computer diagnostic solution), has the potential to identify breast malignancies such as IDC.
