What Makes Breast Thermography So Unique?

 

Thermography is an imaging procedure that uses no radiation, injections, or other invasive methods.

​

Infrared risk markers of early stage cancers that are missed by other methods may be discovered with thermography (3, 6, 7, 8).

​

Women who are on hormone replacement, or have fibrocystic, large, dense, or augmented breasts (6, 8) pose no difficulties when it comes to the reading of thermograms.

​

Since thermography does not involve contact with the skin, the procedure is quite comfortable.

​

Studies show that an abnormal thermogram is the single most important marker of high risk for developing breast cancer, 10 times more significant than a family history of the disease (5).

​

In the absence of other positive tests, an abnormal thermogram may give a woman an early warning that a pathological process may be occurring. By maintaining close monitoring of her breast health with the addition of thermography to her regular exams, a woman may have a much better chance of detecting cancer at its earliest stage and preventing invasive tumor growth.
