What is Thermal Imaging?

Medical Thermal Imaging uses a heat-sensitive camera to measure the temperature or heat coming off of the body. Areas of increased heat are generally caused by inflammation or new blood vessel formation. New blood vessel formation is called a Neovascularity, and is the result of Angiogenesis.  Angiogenesis is the process by which small blood vessels are formed and move in to surround a tumor, providing glucose and other chemicals to stimulate growth.

The Thermal Imaging camera senses very small temperature changes which can be documented and monitored over time. Temperatures are compared to previous images for changes or irregularities in vascular patterns. 

A new view on breast health.

Changes related to early breast cancer can be seen via Thermal Imaging an average of 8-10 years before they are visible on a mammogram.

There is no harm or pain during the Thermal Imaging progress, and it is FDA-approved.

Some woman chose thermal imaging as their primary breast cancer screening tool, while others use it in conjunction with mammography. It is particularly well-suited for women with breast implants or very dense, fibrous breast tissue.
