A Few Facts About DITI
- Medical thermography was approved by USFDA in 1982 as an adjunctive procedure for breast cancer risk assessment.
- DITI is specially useful for women with dense breast tissue and women with surgically altered breast.
- For people under 55 years old, DITI has a 99% sensitivity, a 90% specificity and 90% accuracy.
- DITI is used for DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma In Situ), where cancer cells grow in ducts and so develop without forming a palpable mass!
- DITI detects inflammation, a precursor for many disorders.
- DITI detects irregularities in breast YEARS before a lump is formed.
- DITI is an excellent breast cancer monitoring/assessment tool for women of even young ages.
- Thermography is the only method that can “Visualize” pain, being acute or chronic.
- DITI is a good warning tool for stroke and blood clots by detecting inflammation in carotid arteries.
- DITI can differentiate between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It is also a good warning tool for early assessment of arthritis.
- DITI may point to immune system problems by detecting heat at specific vertebrae.
Excerpts from Summary of Studies
The Biomedical Handbook »»
“1982 FDA approved Thermography as an adjunctive Breast screening procedure. Breast Thermography has the ability to detect the first signs of a tumor that may be forming up to 10 years before other procedures can detect it.”
National Cancer Institute »»
“Thermography’s digital infrared imaging can detect the increase in regional breast temperatures resulting from measured blood vessel activity in both pre cancerous tissue and the area surrounding a developing breast cancer.”
The Lancet »»
“Screening for breast cancer with mammography is unjustified…the data show that for every 1000 women screened biennially throughout 12 years, one breast-cancer death is avoided whereas the total number of deaths is increased by six…there is no reliable evidence that screening decreases breast-cancer mortality.”
2003 issue of AMA journal, American Medical News »»
“There is little evidence documenting that mammography saves lives from breast cancer for premenopausal women.”
THERMAL IMAGING CAN DETECT MANY DISEASES AND DISORDERS IN THEIR EARLY STAGES
Thermography is a non-invasive imaging technique
Thermography uses special infrared-sensitive cameras to digitally record images of the variations in surface temperature of the human body. It’s basically a specialized HDTV night vision camera used to record images of the heat patterns of the breast. The recorded images are called thermograms.
Thermography is an unsurpassed, safe and noninvasive breast cancer screening technique that can detect signs of cancer up to ten years earlier than is possible using mammography. Breast thermography is approved by the FDA for breast cancer risk assessment. The exam takes only a few minutes, and there is no touching or compression of the breast whatsoever.
