Prior to a tumor being formed, cells in the breast begin to create a cancer-friendly environment. Part of this process involves angiogenesis, the development of new blood vessels. These blood vessels provide a blood supply to the area for the cancer to grow. The process of angiogenesis creates heat patterns. Thermography, being sensitive to fluctuations in temperature, can detect these changes in the breast far earlier than other screening methods. Numerous studies have shown that infrared can detect the signs of developing cancer years before modalities such as mammography; by up to 10 years, and that it is a good indicator of risk for breast cancer. Full Body Scans, Upper or Lower Scans are also available that can detect a multitude of suspicious activities, injury and inflammation. See website for additional info. www.advancedthermography.com

A trained thermography technician uses a digital infrared camera to scan the surface of the skin (5mm deep) looking for heat activity or lack of circulation. Just like your unique fingerprint pattern, you have a unique physiological pattern. That pattern should be symmetrical (same) from one side of your body with the other side. If the images show significant heat or lack of circulation in a specific area on one side of your body but not the other side, it may be an indication of an injury or disease. This information is then correlated with other examination with other examination findings or tests to help the doctor arrive at a working diagnosis.
