Thermography

The typical frontal breast thermogram view looks like this – each colour variation (16 of them, from red to blue, like the colours of the rainbow ) shows a change of skin temperature of 1/2 a degree Celsius: Thermography is, unlike conventional mammography, quick, painless, and does not constitute any risk at all for the development of cancer. Mammography on the other hand, exposes your body to a dose of radiation that can be 1,000 times greater than a chest x-ray, which we know poses a definite cancer risk. In addition, thermography can pick up abnormal breast lesions 6 – 7 years before they become malignant! Now THAT is pretty cool, wouldn’t you say? No other screening method offers such a wide leeway in terms of the therapeutic options that become available when cancer is discovered so early: a breast that is identified as abnormal can be serially screened every 3 or so months (note the changes / increased temperature seen in the upper part of the right breast), and further testing can commence at a time when completely different interventions may be used. The mammogram in this particular patient only showed a detectable lesion after the last picture was taken, a full 12 months after something has been picked up by the thermography…

Breast Thermography has NO THREAT OF CANCER CAUSING RADIATION and is 100% safe and painless. Since it is a preventative screening no referral is necessary.
