Thermography is a new approach to breast screening that uses digital infrared imaging--and no squeeze!
What it does is to give a picture of functional activity within the breast tissue. This can often provide the earliest evidence of breast disease--before mammograms can detect structural changes such as lumps or cysts.
Breast thermograpy has a 90% sensitivity rate, which means it can accurately indicate a presence or absense of disease 90% of the time. While thermography does not replace regular mammograms, it permits monitoring of breast health and another way for women to be pro-active about maintaining good health and vitality.
Certified thermologists from Medical Thermography International will analyze and write a report using established international standards from the Pasteur Centre in Paris. This report can then be discussed with your health professional, who can design a treatment program and repeat monitoring, if necessary.
