State-of-the-art Breast Thermography is
a screening tool which, using ultra sensitive infrared
cameras and sophisticated computer software, can identify
unusual changes in the temperature and blood vessels of
the breasts. Breast Thermography is based on the principle
that blood vessel activity and heat in pre-cancerous
tissue and the area surrounding a developing or current
breast cancer, is almost always higher than in the normal
breast. Why? In order to grow, cancer requires an abundant
supply of nutrients that it obtains from blood. Damaged,
pre-cancerous, and/or cancerous cells “call to” the
blood vessels to “feed” them. The resulting flow of
blood generates HEAT. It is this blood flow and heat that
thermograms can identify. AND, most importantly, these
changes can be detected up to 10 years before a tumor
actually forms and can be seen by mammography. This
provides for the earliest possible detection of cancer –
utilizing a painless, effective and safe procedure with no
radiation or compression of the breast.

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT BREAST THERMOGRAPHY
In 1957, the first use of Thermography to study breast disease identified that the skin temperature over a cancer of the breast was higher than that over normal tissue.
In 1982, the FDA approved Breast Thermography as an adjunctive diagnostic breast cancer screening procedure.
In parts of Europe, Thermography is the primary screening tool for breast cancer. In France & Germany alone, there are over 800 clinics that provide this service.
Breast Thermography has undergone extensive research since the late 1950's with more than 800 studies on Breast Thermography in the medical literature.
Breast Thermography can detect the first signs that a cancer may be forming, up to 10 years before any other procedure can detect it. Caught this early, these abnormal changes can often be reversed through simple lifestyle and nutritional therapies.
Thermography is effective and safe for breasts of all sizes as well as women with breast implants, fibrocystic breasts, breasts with dense tissue, and pregnant or nursing women.
Thermography is also indicated for post breast surgery screening.
Thermography involves no radiation or pain, is totally non-invasive, and requires no contact with the body.
