Why You Need To Consider Thermal Breast Imaging

By Juana Buchanan


Doctors view mammography as the splendid standards for diagnosis of breast malignancy. All other medical experts put too much attention in this direction neglecting a highly benefiting procedure known as thermal breast imaging. While mammography concentrates on analysis of an existing dangerous tissue, the digitized infrared thermal imaging (DITI) on the other hands aims to detect their formation at cellular level before they multiply to billions to form a tumour when other tests can detect them.

The principle behind thermal imaging is quite simple. Ideally, the skin covering a malignant breast tissue gets warmer than the surrounding tissue. Using heat sensitive/infrared cameras, images taken can be used to detect cancer at its earliest stage possible.

Malignancies need large quantities of nutrients to facilitate their growth right from onset which triggers increase in blood supply to the region. This new development triggers new changes such as development of new blood vessels, increasing the volume of existing ones and making the previously inactive ones active. The result is an increased temperature on the zone and changes from normal image due to new blood vessels all which are detectable.

Given that breast thermal impressions are as unique as DNA, an introductory infrared image is taken on the initial screening and is used for future reference. The typical cell multiplying rate is about 80 days and hence the patient can go for the second infrared image after 90 days. The two photographs can then be looked at and examined for any progressions. In the event that there is no change on images, this structures the groundwork for future examinations. The patients will then attend annual screening.

Should there be any doubt even at initial screening; either mammography or any other test is ordered. With these paramount impacts, thermography can pinpoint inconsistencies up to seven years before mammography. This is because it focuses at cellular level change as opposed to waiting for a tumour to develop. This is supported by several research works that proves that cancers starts to develop many years (7-10) before they become distinguishable using other diagnostic techniques.

This form of screening affords you an opportunity change your lifestyle and stop feeding cancerous cells stopping them from becoming tumours. It is to a greater degree a preventive measure than simply early recognition offered by mammography.

It does not hurt in any manner since it is non-intrusive procedure. It has no side effect and is also free of radiations. Likewise, it works better for circumstances where mammography is not suitable, for example, ladies with small breasts, those who need special attention due to breast implants, post-mastectomy screening, and screening of male patients, case like Abnormal Lymph, Thyroid, Brachial and Carotid and all other cases where mammography is not ideal.

Breast thermography comes with many merits over most alternatives the major one being the chance for earliest possible detection and hence prevention. If used as a complementary procedure to mammography and other diagnosis procedures, it can turn out to be the best medical practice towards eliminating mortality resulting from breast cancers. It only requires annual screening after the initial infrared images are taken.
