Regulation Thermography is a diagnostic tool in the medical science based on the measurement of the body's thermoregulation ability – the so‐called thermogram. The expert's rules for the interpretation of a thermogram can be modelled using Fuzzy Logic. In the present article this modelling process is briefly explained; it leads to a Fuzzy Inference System capable of evaluating thermograms with respect to e.g. signals for the presence of Breast Cancer. Some of the main points of a comparison between the expert rules and the result of a stepwise linear discriminant analysis performed on classified thermograms are presented.
