BREAST THERMOGRAPHY

Digital Infrated Imaging (Breast thermography) is based on detecting the heat produced by increased blood vessel circulation and metabolic changes associated with a tumor’s genesis and growth.

Breast thermography has been approved by FDA as an adjunct to a mammogram scan.  The procedure does not involve any contact with the breast nor radiation.  It measures temperature emitted by the body from a distance of 3-4 feet, giving the provider the image of vascular patterns and temperature distribution.  Physiological changes can precede the anatomical ones by many years.  Thermal imaging  is a test of physiology which is complementary to anatomical imaging studies.  While highly accurate, thermal image does not replace conventional structural imaging (mammogram, ultrasound, MRI).

​

• Breast thermography delivers no radiation to the breast

• Breast thermography requires no compression nor any contact with the breast to create images

• It can detect changes in breasts with dense tissue and implants
