Breast Screening Health

Early Detection of Breast Disease
The benefit of Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging testing is that it offers the opportunity of earlier detection of breast disease than has been possible through breast self examination, doctor examination or mammography.

DITI detects the subtle physiologic changes that accompany breast pathology, whether it is cancer, fibrocystic disease, an infection or a vascular disease. Your doctor can then plan accordingly and lay out a careful program to further diagnose and / or MONITOR you during and after any treatment.

Quick & Easy
This quick and easy test starts with your medical history being taken before you partially disrobe for the scanning to be performed. This first session provides the baseline of your "thermal signature". A subsequent session assures that the patterns remain unchanged.

All of your Thermograms (breast images) are kept on record and once your stable thermal pattern has been established any changes can be detected during your routine annual studies.

Who Can Benefit?
All women can benefit from Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging breast screening. However, it is especially appropriate for younger women (age 30 - 50) whose denser breast tissue makes it more difficult for mammography to be effective. Thermography is also ideal for women who have had reconstructive surgery or cosmetic surgery, or who are otherwise unable to undergo routine mammography.

Breast Screening Case Studies

We offer a full gallery of case studies for you to review as well as the comparative 12 month case study below. For more breast screening case studies click here.

A Comparative 12 Month Study

Positive comparative study
showing changes over one year. This patient was also age 37 when her first baseline thermogram showed a slight hyperthermic asymmetry in the upper right breast.

Breast at 3 months The follow-up study showed the pattern had become more well defined and although clinical correlation did not find anything remarkable it was decided to repeat the exam again in a further 3 months, when again significant changes were seen.

Breast thermogram at 6 month Mammography was performed at this stage with the thermographic guidance of the locally suspicious area at 1 O’clock to the right nipple. The mammographic findings were inconclusive and the patient was referred for a repeat mammogram in 12 months.

Breasts at 9 months Thermographic monitoring was continued and at the fifth comparative study at 12 months significant changes were still evident and the hyperthermic asymmetry (temperature differentials) had increased. Immediate further investigation was strongly recommended despite a scheduled mammogram in 6 months, and at the patients insistence a repeat mammogram Breast Thermogram at 12 months was performed which clearly showed a small calcification (1 mm) at 1 O’clock.

Within one week a lumpectomy had been performed with good margins and the pathology confirmed as a malignant carcinoma (DCIS). This patient has now had stable thermograms for the last 2 years and is expected to remain healthy.
