Thermography imaging scans show the function, physiology and metabolism of breast tissue. In other word thermography detects changes in heat due to angiogenesis (a physiological process involving the growth of new blood vessels and plays a role in breast cancer risk assessment).

Thermography imaging scans shows the heat differences between normal breast tissue and potential areas of concerns. Usually abnormal cells are “hotter” because of the demand of blood flow to feed the potential malignant tissue. Since rapid growth is part of cancer development, chemical are produced to help grow new blood vessels; angiogenesis.

This means inflammatory cancers can be assessed earlier because of the demand of blood growth. Besides this thermography imaging scans are able to provide the earliest evidence of breast disease. At a 90% sensitivity rate, thermography is an effective tool to asses’ breast health concerns.

1.    Timely: Problems often are found before structural abnormalities are seen with mammograms.

2.    Comprehensive: Thermography examines the whole chest, breast and armpit areas, and is great for all ages. Thermography is not limited by  various factors such as breast size, dense tissue or fibrocystic breast and the results are not affected for women who are on hormonal medications (birth control and hormone replacement therapy).

3.    Accurate: helps discover potential problem areas, which allows for more precise focus on diagnosis potential concerns.

4.    Effortless: No squeezing, no pressure, no touching by equipment or technician.

5.    Hazard free: No harmful radiation rays emitted so digital infrared imaging scan can be done as often to monitor breast health and to help guide treatment.
