Breast Health Thermal Imaging Study:
No radiation, no compression or pain, no body contact, total privacy. (Fee $225)
Breast thermography was approved by the FDA in 1982 as an adjunct service to standard breast imaging ex ultrasound, MRI and mammography. That means thermography is not a stand alone screening. In fact, we recommend breast self exams, clinical breast exams, breast thermography, and breast ultrasound or MRI for above-standard breast health monitoring.
Breast health thermal imaging is the most popular use of medical thermography.
Why breast thermal imaging?
Breast screenings by MRI, ultrasound, mammogram, Sonocine, and SureTouch can see the anatomical development of a breast cyst or tumor. Oftentimes, by the time that is seen, the health problem has already matured. Furthermore, mammograms cannot be recommended for dense or fibrocystic breast tissue, nor for large breasts and breast implants.
Thermal imaging can see the physiology of active, aggressive vascular development which affords patients/clients time for early intervention and healing. The earlier the baseline screening and monitoring of breast health, the earlier intervention and healing could be achieved. Indeed "A stitch in time saves nine."
An additional benefit is that thermal imaging looks at the wider breast region. While mammograms compress only the breast tissue for imaging, thermal imaging also looks at the tail which covers the axilla (armpit area), sides of the torso and the back.
Breast thermal imaging is accurate, safe, and painless for all ages and breast types. Patients with large breasts, fibrocystic breasts, dense breast tissue, implants, who are pregnant or on HRT, are ideal candidates.
More than 50% of women age 20-45 have these breast tissue types. A better option for them to see the physiology of aggressive vascular development or inflammatory breast disease, is thermal imaging and MRI. If "high level of concern" is detected via thermal imaging, we recommend a follow up thermal breast study in three months and/or refer out to standard imaging options.
Breast thermal imaging is highly recommended in the intervals between mammograms, esp for women over 45 and those with a genetic predisposition for breast cancer, or when mammograms are not yet recommended before age 45.
All thermal images are sent to a physician trained to interpret thermal images; a report, along with images, is then generated and emailed to the client in 3-5 business days.
No imaging technology can PREVENT malignancy. Imaging may see but not prevent cancer. Malignant cells fed by vascular networks emit more infrared heat than normal cells, which is more readily seen in breast thermal imaging. Getting thermal imaging early on in one's health journey enables an individual to be aware of and then to pursue dietary and lifestyle changes and less invasive medical care. Regular imaging and active surveillance are key.
No imaging technology can DIAGNOSE malignancy since it can only be diagnosed via biopsy. We recommend requesting radiation-free MRIs to confirm and guide tumor biopsy for diagnosis.
Women under 45 years of age tend to have fewer but more aggressive breast pathology that results in higher mortality. However, standard breast imaging is not recommended by the Breast Cancer Prevention Task Force until a woman is 50 years old. Breast thermography is a beneficial option for women under 45, especially those with dense breast tissue, fibrocystic breasts, large breasts, implants, are pregnant, on HRT, and women undergoing breast treatments.
Breast thermography could assess breast treatment outcome, without radiation, compression or pain. Here are 6 reasons for breast thermal imaging:
