In this chapter, how medical thermography can be utilized as early detection technique for breast cancer with fuzzy logic is explained. Breast cancer is the leading cause of death among women. This fact justifies researches to reach early diagnosis, improving patients' life expectancies. Moreover, there are other pathologies, such as cysts and benign neoplasms, that deserve investigation. In the last ten years, the infrared thermography has shown to be a promising technique to early diagnosis of breast pathologies. Works on this subject presented results that justify the thermography as a complementary exam to detect breast diseases. Various algorithms that can be utilized for Breast Cancer diagnosis utilizing medical thermography are listed and also the advantages of medical thermography over other imaging modalities is given.

The high mortality rate associated with cancer and the inability to detect the disease early has led to a catastrophic reduction in the rate of survivability of the disease in women. We have attempted to improve on the rate of survival by using Fuzzy logic to develop a risk factor system for detection of breast cancer. The system has been implemented using the Mamdani fuzzy logic approach in MATLAB. A graphical user interface (GUI) has been developed using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012. The GUI was powered by a Fuzzy Logic Library and Visual C# was used as its programming language. Keywords: Breast Cancer, Disease, Risk factor, Fuzzy Logic.
