Thermography Examples
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.
