BREAST THERMOGRAPHY
Breast Thermography is a non-invasive and painless way to screen for breast cancer without radiation or compression of the breast. It uses state of the art medical infrared technology to assess heat in the breast. Comparative exams create a baseline for monitoring breast health based on individual thermal patterns and changes.
Scientists use infrared technology in most aspects of modern science including weather, space programs, military, espionage, and other applications. In these areas thermography is a 100% reliable tool for assessment to be used along with other technologies.
In the realm of breast thermography, the focus is on identifying heat patterns in the breast that could be indicative of pathology. Tumor growth typically results in increased vascular patterns, which can be detected using advanced infrared cameras. Thermography aims to establish a baseline for overall breast health and wellness.
Thermography vs Mammography
Thermography is a reliable and comfortable adjunctive procedure that is used in conjunction with traditional screening methods for conditions including breast cancer. Please understand that Thermography is NOT a stand-alone diagnostic test, but it provides valuable additional information that can be used in a holistic screening approach.
Indeed, there have been instances where thermography has helped identify areas of concern in women who have undergone mammography with no detected issues. The November 2012 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine discusses the potential benefits of integrating different methods for a comprehensive screening strategy.
Thermography has additional importance in addressing the often overlooked demographic of women under the age of 40, and those with dense breasts. These groups sometimes present challenges for traditional screening methods. Annually, over 20,000 cases of breast cancer occur in the US in the under 40 age group, and the nature of the disease in these cases tends to be more aggressive, less responsive to treatment. Currently, there’s no routine screening protocol for these women.
In this context, thermography offers potential as a useful adjunctive screening procedure. It does not replace any existing methods, but can be an important tool in the arsenal of preventative healthcare for women of all ages and conditions. This potential of thermography warrants further investigation and research to continue enhancing women’s health practices.
