Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging
Digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI) is a 15-30 minute non-invasive, radiation-free, and compression-free test of physiology.
Using
a state-of-the-art highly sensitive
digital infrared camera,
thermography accurately measures
heat from the surfaces of the
breasts or body, detecting
temperature differences that may be
due to an abnormality. DITI can
screen for vascular changes,
inflammation, and neurological
changes in the breast or body.
We all have our own unique heat
patterns in our breasts and body,
like a “thermal fingerprint.” These
patterns should never change and
will remain constant throughout our
lives. Before a tumor begins to
grow, it typically has to establish
its own network of blood vessels to
feed it. This new network of
vascularity changes your own unique
heat pattern. A thermogram can
screen for these changes within two
years of its onset. Neovascularity
is the earliest sign of a growing
tumor and can be seen with infrared
technology 6-8 years before it can
be seen by other methods. a 15-30
minute non-invasive, radiation-free,
and compression-free test of
physiology.
-
- Non-invasive, painless, radiation-free
- It is unique to visualize physiological changes and metabolic processes
- Thermography can be repeated as often as you like without the danger of exposed radiation. It suited for regular/annual breast screening, including post-surgery or during treatment
- It is useful for young or older women for whom mammogram is not appropriate – dense breast tissue, sensitivity to ionized radiation
- FDA approved as an ADJUNCT to mammogram since 1982
- Over 800 peer-reviewed studies on the effectiveness of thermography
- Over 83%
accurate in the early screening
of breast cancer. If it is
combined with mammogram or
ultrasound the accuracy is 95%
Affordable - No prescription necessary
