Breast thermography is a simple way to assess breast tissue. It is a non-invasive scan that can detect what is going on in your body years ahead of cancer showing up on a mammogram.
Thermography (DITI) is a clinical test of physiology. It is a valuable procedure for alerting your doctor to changes that can indicate early stage of breast disease. DITI uses Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging technology to record and assess your breast health with no dangerous side effects. The benefits of Thermography (DITI) are that it offers the opportunity of earlier detection of breast disease than through breast self-examination, doctor examination, or mammography alone.
It detects the subtle physiologic changes that accompany breast pathology, whether it is cancer or fibrocystic disease. Your doctors can then plan accordingly and lay out a careful program to further diagnose and/or monitor you during after any treatment. A certified Clinical Thermographer will record your history and take thermal images during a 15 minute private and discreet appointment.
You will need two sets of imaging done approximately three months apart to establish a baseline of your stable pattern. Your thermograms will be kept on record and compared with your annual return to detect any changes in your pattern that may indicate breast pathology. Your results are reported quickly by certified doctors and include all color images taking during your test. It takes years for a tumor to grow, thus the earliest possible indication of abnormality is important to allow for the earliest possible treatment and intervention. DITI’s role in monitory breast health is to help in early detection and monitoring of abnormal physiology.
