Infrared Breast Scans

Early detection through screening is often what gives women a stronger chance of winning the fight against breast cancer

Early detection through screening is often what gives women a stronger chance of winning the fight against breast cancer. Breast thermography is a noninvasive screening technique that uses infrared light to measure the temperature of body tissue without radiation. Thermography is highly sensitive to identifying tissue changes associated with breast cancer. However, infrared thermography is less specific in differentiating breast cancer from inflammation, infection, or hormone imbalances; therefore it is recommended for use only when other breast cancer screening methods, such as mammography and physical  examination, are also used.
