Thermography is a new approach to breast screening that uses digital infrared imaging, and without either radiation or squeezing. It can often provide the earliest evidence of breast disease--before mammograms can detect structural changes such as lumps or cysts. It also 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 an important way for women to be pro-active about maintaining good health and vitality.
Certified thermologists from ThermaScan Imaging Center in Michigan (www.thermascan.com) 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.
For more information on thermography, the website for MTI is www.medthermonline.com.
The entire proceedure takes about 30 minutes and reports are available in 6-8 weeks.
