Breast Thermography
The next thermography date is April 28th 2007, and in case you didn't know, we hold Thermography Testing Clinics every few months, so book now for your appointment.
A new approach to breast screening using digital infrared imaging that provides the earliest of evidence of breast disease.
Tests for breast cancer are not 100% perfect. So, digital infrared imaging, mammography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are not stand-alone tests. Each gives different information. Digital infrared imaging scans shows the function, the physiology, the metabolism of breast tissue. It gives a picture of the cell activity in breast tissue. A digital infrared imaging scan provides the earliest of evidence of breast disease.
- Uses a digital infrared imaging camera and high speed computer
- Is a first line breast screening technique used in France, Germany, Sweden, Spain, and Japan
- Explores breast physiology
- Measures metabolic activity in cells:
- problem areas show higher temperature due to increased immune response and inflammatory activity
Major Benefits of Digital Infrared Imaging…
Timely: problems can be found before abnormalities are seen with mammograms. Early detection provides the best outcome.
Inclusive: examines the whole chest, breasts and armpit areas
Good for all ages: puberty, breastfeeding, pre-menopausal years and post-menopausal years
Good for all breast types: dense, pregnant, breastfeeding, fibrocystic, enhanced (implants) and women on oral hormone medication (BCP & HRT)
Painless: no squeezing, no pressure, no touching by equipment or technician
Risk-free: no harmful rays emitted so digital infrared imaging scan can be done as often as needed to monitor breast health and to guide treatment.
