• THE EARLIEST BREAST CANCER DETECTION AVAILABLE

Breast Thermography has the ability to warn women (or men) up to 8 – 10 years before any other method currently available that a cancer may be forming, by detecting abnormalities or changes in the breast tissue.  This allows prompt diagnosis and early treatment before invasive tumor growth has occurred.

• NO RADIATION

Radiation causes damage to DNA and chromosomes. There is no “safe” level of radiation according to the Nuclear Regulatory Agency.  Radiation is a known causal factor in the development of some cancers. Thermography does not use radiation and is risk-free.

• NO COMPRESSION

Mammography requires compression of a woman’s breasts and this is often uncomfortable or even painful. There is no body contact with Thermography.

• ACCURACY = 90% SAME AS MAMMOGRAM BUT HAS EARLIER DETECTION

Thermography is as accurate as mammography at 90%. It is more accurate in younger women with dense breast tissue, overweight women, and in women with fibrocystic breasts or breast implants. It also evaluates all areas of the breasts and regional lymph nodes, whereas mammography misses portions of the breast tissue. Approximately 1/3 of all breast cancers occur in women under 45, where mammography is not recommended.

• SHOWS ESTROGEN EFFECT ON BREASTS

The single greatest risk factor in the development of breast cancer is if a woman has an estrogen dominant effect on her breasts. Thermography can provide information on estrogen effect that a doctor can use to treat and decrease a woman’s breast cancer risk. Even more important, Thermography can demonstrate whether treatment is having a beneficial effect.

• THERMOGRAPHY VISUALIZES PAIN

What Does Thermography Offer for Evaluation of Pain?

Thermography is the only method currently available for visualizing pain in the body. It can assess pain and pathology anywhere in the body.

• WHOLE BODY EVALUATIONS

A thermogram of the entire body can be taken. This is not safely possible with CT scans due to high radiation exposure.

• FILLS IN THE GAPS IN DIAGNOSIS OF PAIN OR INJURY

X-ray, CT, Ultrasound and MRI are all tests that look at anatomy or structure. Thermography is complementary to these tests and is unique in that it looks for physiological change. It can visualize painful areas when X-ray or MRI has not demonstrated the cause, such as in a hairline fracture, soft tissue injury, or neck pain from a whiplash.

***Disclaimer: Breast thermography offers women information that no other procedure can provide. However, breast thermography is not a replacement for or alternative to mammography or any other form of breast imaging. Breast thermography is meant to be used in addition to mammography and other tests or procedures. Breast thermography and mammography are complementary procedures, one test does not replace the other. All thermography reports are meant to identify thermal emissions that suggest potential risk markers only and do not in any way suggest diagnosis and/or treatment. Studies show that the earliest detection is realized when multiple tests are used together. This multimodal approach includes breast self-examinations, physical breast exams by a doctor, mammography, ultrasound, MRI, Pet Scan, thermography, and other tests that may be ordered by your doctor.
