From: On the possibility of using temperature to aid in thyroid nodule investigation
Temperature variations by the numerical simulation for elliptic malignant nodules of 1.0 \(\times\) 1.57 cm and fat tissue layer thickness of 1.2 cm. (a) Temperatures on the cross section and along the skin surface of the neck, where the red number indicated the position on skin (i.e. arc length) beginning in the left end of the section. (b) Temperatures along the black line (semi circle radius) and center of the nodules (green triangle) showed in (a), the length (showed in the horizontal axis) begging in the center of the circle section.
