Abstract
<span class="fontstyle0">Thermography is a technique that is being proposed as an auxiliary tool in breast cancer screening. It gains importance, especially due to the increased incidence of this cancer in the Brazilian female population. These images are also used for the validation of three-dimensional numerical simulations. The production of a more realistic and personalized breast model would allow a more accurate estimate of the sensitivity of thermography as a technique capable of early detection of breast cancer. This work proposes the development of a methodology to produce a custom three-dimensional breast geometry from the manually extracted curves of the thermograms contained in UFPE Thermographic Image Database. With this geometry, parametric analyzes were performed, seeking to understand the influence of tumor depth and size on the calculated temperature profile.</span> <br /><br />
