| Abstract | The validity of the autonomic cold challenge for use in screening breast thermography is reviewed. A review of the literature is discussed along with reasoning for the choice of the cold stress method used. Breast thermogram results from 23 patients with histologically confirmed breast cancers are presented demonstrating positive and negative responses to the challenge. Cold challenge responses from 500 patients without breast cancer and with normal and persistent abnormal thermograms are also discussed. The question is posed, should the use of the cold challenge be continued considering that a negative response does not rule out the possibility of neoplasm nor does a positive response guarantee its existence? Conclusions are drawn from the available data that suggest that the use of the cold challenge be left up to the discretion of the interpreting thermologist and not mandated with every breast thermogram. Until further studies are performed and ample evidence can be presented, a review of the available data indicates that infrared imaging of the breast can be performed excluding the cold challenge without any known loss of sensitivity or specificity in the detection of breast cancers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
