Breast Thermography –
Increases your chances of detecting breast cancer in its earliest stages.
Today, breast cancer is a major health risk to all women. It silently grows and destroys uninterrupted for 10 years.
Early detection using Thermography is key to prevention and a healthier life.
Thermal Images are taken to determine abnormalities or changes in the breast tissue. Thermography can detect irregular patterns years before a mammogram.
Thermography’s role in breast cancer and other breast disorders is to help in early detection, monitor abnormal physiology and the establishment of risk factors for the development or existence of disease.
When used with other procedures, the best possible evaluation of breast health is made.
Best of all, Thermal Imaging is painless, non-invasive, no radiation and is FDA Approved.
This 30 minutes non-invasive test is a valuable procedure for alerting your GP or specialist to the possibility of underlying breast disease. This test is designed to improve chances for detecting fast-growing, active tumors in the intervals between mammographic screenings or when mammography is not indicated by screening guidelines for women under 50 years of age. All patient’s thermograms (breast images) are kept on record and form a baseline for all future routine evaluations.
This test can provide a ‘clinical marker’ to the doctor or mammographer that a specific area of the breast needs particularly close examination. The faster a malignant tumor grows, the more infrared radiation it generates.
Thermography is especially appropriate for younger women between 30 and 50 whose denser breast tissue makes it more difficult for mammography to pick up suspicious lesions which can lead to earlier detection and ultimately a longer life.
