Abstract
Human body has a unique defined structure which can be differentiated from any unwanted growth of different body tissues or muscles or sometimes diseased cells. In medical science, unwanted growth of mass in the body is termed as malignant region. Abnormal growth of any cell is called as cancer. This abnormal growth of the cancer cell can affect any part/location of the body. This different location is called as malignant region. In this paper we did study on different imaging techniques focus on the different types of malignant region discovery methods such as thermal imaging, X-Ray imaging, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), optical imaging. Also, how the thermal image detects the abnormal cell in the human body. It is analyzed that malignant regions of the body help to prove the cancer cells those are present within the body. The early detection of malignant region helps in saving the life of an individual. To obtain thermal images, a thermal camera is used. Capacity of thermal camera is able to detect wide range of temperature of our body from lowest 0.1 °C to highest temperature. The temperature can vary due to physiological and emotional state in the human body.
