Thermography or DITI is known as a possible breast cancer screening imaging modality with the help of highresolution cameras, as it does not have the harmful radiation effects similar to that of mammography. The sensitivity and specificity of mammograms remain less than optimal, especially for patients with dense breast tissue. Thermal images of the breast are obtained with IR cameras and computational tools are used to represent heat transfer accurately within the breast have increased the

Recent advances and suggestions for future work in the field including using advanced simulation methods, inverse modelling, imaging protocols, and using artificial neural networks to better predict the location of the carcinogenic tumour are also presented. This paper gives the survey on some of the image processing methods or the processes that are involved in the breast cancer detection from thermal images.
