1. A device for providing improved classification of breast tissue wherein the tissue:

  • is classified as one of cancerous and non-cancerous tissue, which comprises;

    means for sensing temperature of a subject breast tissue over a predetermined period and generating signals in response thereto;

    means operatively associated with said means for sensing for receiving and manipulating said signals employing a computer based device operatively associated with means for applying a normalization to each said signal, said normalization including a function of X/Y where X is one temperature reading of one of said signals for a particular subject and Y is the maximum temperature obtained from a predetermined number sets of temperature readings obtained a plurality of subject breast tissue from said subject, said normalization to provide a set of normalized signals and said computer based device operatively associated with a trained artificial classifier and wherein said set normalized signals are input through said trained artificial classifier to produce a signal indicative of cancerous and non-cancerous tissue of the subject.
