Thermography
Thermography is a safe state-of-the-art screening method, radiation free, no contact, adjunctive tool that uses heat detection to locate areas of temperature differences in the body. Most pathological processes demonstrate a form of increased heat, and some neurological processes show excessive cold or hypothermia. Breast disease can be detected by looking for areas of excessive or increasing heat that may indicate areas of angiogenesis or an increase of blood flow to growing tumors.
Thermography has been used for breast cancer detection. Thermography was cleared by the FDA in 1982 as an adjunctive procedure for breast cancer screening. Thermography is helpful in the diagnosis and documentation of other diseases and disorders such as breast disease, thyroid, lymphatic congestion, nervous system disorders, abdominal inflammation, vascular system analysis, neuromuscular disorders, muscular disorders, vascular screening, and other pathologies.

According to a recent study published by scientists in the New England Journal of Medicine, 1.3 million US women have received invasive cancer treatments including surgery, radiology, hormone therapy and chemotherapy over the last 30 years. Thermography can demonstrate whether a tumor is metabolically active or not when combined with routine and anatomical testing.
