Positive comparative study showing changes over one year:

This patient was also age 37 when her first baseline thermogram showed a slight hyperthermic asymmetry in the upper right breast. The follow-up study showed the pattern had become more well defined and although clinical correlation did not find anything remarkable, it was decided to repeat the exam again in a further 3 months, when again significant changes were seen. Mammography was performed at this stage with the thermographic guidance of the locally suspicious area at 1 O'clock to the right nipple. The mammographic findings were inconclusive and the patient was referred for a repeat mammogram in 12 months. Thermographic monitoring was continued and at the fifth comparative study at 12 months significant changes were still evident and the hyperthermic asymmetry (temperature differentials) had increased. Immediate further investigation was strongly recommended despite a scheduled mammogram in 6 months, and at the patients insistence a repeat mammogram was performed which clearly showed a small calcification (1 mm) at 1 O'clock. Within one week a lumpectomy had been performed with good margins and the pathology confirmed as a malignant carcinoma (DCIS - Ductal Carcinoma in Situ). This patient has now had stable thermograms for the last 2 years and is expected to remain healthy.

A Review of Thermography

In 1982, the FDA approved breast thermography as an adjunctive diagnostic breast cancer screening procedure. This technology has undergone extensive research since the 1950’s. Although your doctor may not know it, there are over 800 peer-reviewed studies on breast thermography in the index-medicus literature. It is unfortunate, but many physicians still hesitate to consider thermography as a useful tool in clinical practice. This is likely due to the fact that the physical and biological basis of thermography are not familiar to most physicians. Physicians are trained in reference to anatomy, not thermodynamics and thermokinetics.

Commonly Asked Questions

What is thermography?

▪ A non-invasive procedure which uses an infrared camera to take pictures of your infrared image
▪ Your Digital Infrared Thermal Image (DITI) is used by a health care practitioner to evaluate the overall health of your body

Why use thermography?

▪ SAFETY!  There is no radiation involved with the technology
▪ As a non-invasive technology, there is no contact with your body
▪ Certain circumstances often interfere with mammography accuracy. This often leads to more mammography, ultrasound, or tissue biopsy. These circumstances do not interfere with thermography:

- Fibrocystic Breasts
- Healthy and/or young glandular breast tissue

Why should I get a total body thermal imaging?

▪ The Digital Infrared Thermal Image (DITI) report of the whole body can be a helpful evaluation and assessment tool
▪ To help detect abnormalities such as tumors, injury, and inflammation on the organs, musculoskeletal system, and nervous system
▪ Thermal Imaging detects changes when other studies can not because it detects changes is physiology, not anatomy

Mammography vs. thermography for women at high breast cancer risk

▪ Patients that are getting early mammography to detect breast cancer because she has a strong family history:
   -Young, healthy breasts do not demonstrate early cancer well on mammogram but they do not interfere with early detection in thermography
   -Why radiate breast tissue early (which is cancer promoting) if it's less accurate than getting a thermogram?

Does insurance reimburse thermography?

▪ This varies with different insurance companies. Thermography IS an FDA approved technology but some insurance companies do not reimburse.

The Bottom Line:

▪ An abnormal thermogram is 10 times more significant as a future risk factor for breast cancer than a first order family history of the disease.
▪ A persistent abnormal thermogram carries with it a 22x higher risk of future breast cancer.
▪ An abnormal infrared image is a single most important marker of high risk for developing breast cancer.
▪ Breast thermography has the ability to detect the first signs that a cancer may be forming before any other procedure can detect it.

Why is Thermography Better Than Mammography?

An abnormal thermogram is the single most important marker of high risk for developing breast cancer. Breast thermography has the ability to detect the first signs that a cancer may be forming before any other procedure can detect it.
