> Uselessness of thermal imaging for detecting breast cancer

There is absolutely no medical or physical reason why thermal imaging should work for detecting cancer. It is largely a measure of blood flow. Some cancers have a high rate of blood flow and some have a low rate of blood flow. But there are plenty of other non-cancer reasons why the rate of blood flow should be locally higher or lower.
