Are You Looking for a Safe and Effective Breast Cancer Screening Tool?
Do you have dense breast tissue making mammograms less effective?
We offer a safe and effective option. Breast Thermography is an FDA-approved screening tool that serves as an important adjunct to mammograms, providing additional insight into your breast health without radiation exposure.
What is Breast Thermography?
Breast Thermography is a test that uses an infrared camera to detect heat patterns and blood flow in body tissues. Digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI) is the type of thermography that’s used to identify abnormal tissues in the breast. DITI reveals temperature differences on the surface of the breasts to help diagnose potential concerns.
Advanced Early Detection
Thermal scans can detect irregular breast patterns before a noticeable lump is formed. In fact, thermography is the only screening tool that can detect inflammatory breast cancer, in which there are no lumps that can be detected by self-exam or mammogram.
By adding thermal scans to your annual exams and breast imaging studies (mammograms, ultrasound, MRI), you can improve your chances for early breast cancer detection by 97%.
Who Benefits Most from Breast Thermography?
All women can benefit from thermal breast screening, but it is especially useful for women whose denser and more vascular breast tissue makes it more difficult for mammography to be effective. This includes:
- Women with dense breast tissue
- Younger women seeking preventive screening
- Women with breast implants
- Those wanting radiation-free monitoring
- Women with family history of breast cancer
- Those seeking comprehensive breast health assessment
The Importance of Early Detection
With one in eight women getting diagnosed with breast cancer, it’s never too early to start breast cancer prevention and early detection. Thermography provides an additional layer of screening that can identify potential concerns years before they would be detectable through other methods.
