Breast Thermography
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.
