CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application is a U.S. National Phase filing under 35 U.S.C. 371 of International (PCT) Patent Application No. PCT / IL2015 / 050392, filed 13 Apr. 2015, which claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 110,615, filed 2 Feb. 2015, and from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 978,901, filed 13 Apr. 2014, all of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to cancer detection and diagnosis, and more specifically the present invention relates to cancer detection and diagnosis through the use of thermal imaging technology.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Tumor cells are distinct from their surrounding normal tissue by several properties, one of which is a thermo-physical property referred to as thermal diffusivity, which is expected to be different in cancerous cells compared to healthy cells. Thermal diffusivity is the combined property of density,...
