Breast thermography is a radiation-free, touch-free, non-invasive imaging procedure that has been FDA 510k cleared since 1982 as an adjunctive screening tool to aid in the detection of breast cancer. The technology of thermography has been utilized for decades to detect physiological changes of the breasts at an early stage. It is safe for women of all ages and is equally effective for women with dense breast tissue. This is particularly important considering up to 60% of women have dense breasts. Research shows that mammography is effective in detecting breast cancer in women with non-dense breast tissue. However, the accuracy of mammography drops dramatically for women with dense tissue. 

Breast thermography utilizes an ultra-sensitive, medical infrared camera and sophisticated computers to detect, analyze, and produce high-resolution images of skin temperature variations. These temperature variations may be among the earliest signs of breast changes or a pre-cancerous/cancerous state. 

Current methods used to detect suspicious signs of breast cancer depend primarily on a combination of both physical examination and mammography. While this approach has become the mainstay of early breast cancer detection, more is needed. Since the prevention of breast cancer has not yet become a reality, every effort must be directed at detecting breast cancer at its earliest stage.
