Thermography
Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging
Digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI) is a 15-30 minute non-invasive, radiation-free, and compression-free test of physiology.
Using a state-of-the-art highly sensitive digital infrared camera, thermography accurately measures heat from the surfaces of the breasts or body, detecting temperature differences that may be due to an abnormality. DITI can screen for vascular changes, inflammation, and neurological changes in the breast or body.
We all have our own unique heat patterns in our breasts and body, like a “thermal fingerprint.” These patterns should never change and will remain constant throughout our lives. Before a tumor begins to grow, it typically has to establish its own network of blood vessels to feed it. This new network of vascularity changes your own unique heat pattern. A thermogram can screen for these changes within two years of its onset. Neovascularity is the earliest sign of a growing tumor and can be seen with infrared technology 6-8 years before it can be seen by other methods. a 15-30 minute non-invasive, radiation-free, and compression-free test of physiology.
-
-
Non-invasive, painless, radiation-free
-
It is unique to visualize physiological changes and metabolic processes
-
Thermography can be repeated as often as you like without the danger of exposed radiation. It suited for regular/annual breast screening, including post-surgery or during treatment
-
It is useful for young or older women for whom mammogram is not appropriate – dense breast tissue, sensitivity to ionized radiation
-
FDA approved as an ADJUNCT to mammogram since 1982
-
Over 800 peer-reviewed studies on the effectiveness of thermography
-
Over 83% accurate in the early screening of breast cancer. If it is combined with mammogram or ultrasound the accuracy is 95%
