Medical Breast Thermography is an FDA approved (since 1982) radiation and compression free procedure that images the breasts to aid in early risk assessment for breast cancer.
The procedure is based on the scientific principle that chemical and blood vessel activity in both pre-canceroustissue and the area surrounding a developing breast cancer is almost always higher than in the normal breast.
With Medical Breast Thermography, state-of-the-art infrared cameras paired with sophisticated computer software, detect, analyze and produce high-resolution images of these temperature and vascular changes. By carefully examining these changes, signs of possible cancer or pre-cancerous cell growth may be evident through early risk assessment often MANYyears prior to being discovered using any other procedure.
Thermography is used world wide in breast heath evaluation and breast cancer risk assessment! Thermography does not replace standard detection methods, but when used as a multi-modal approach (clinical examination, thermography, mammography), peer reviewed studies have shown that 95% of early stage breast cancers can be detected!*
“This technology is especially exciting for young women and those with dense or fibrocystic breasts since mammography is not usually usefull in these cases. The “wait and see” and “come back in a year” is no longer acceptable” says Mary Kubisewsky, Clinic Director of Thermography Clinic Kitchener Inc., herself a Breast Cancer Survivor. Mary Kubisewsky celebrated 5 years cancer free in November/09 and now dedicates her life to encouraging women to be proactive and take control of their health especially breast health.
