According to Dr. Thomas Hudson, “Thermography can detect physiological changes associated with breast cancer while it’s still at the cellular level – before it becomes visible on a mammogram.” This thermal imaging system is also safe, painless and radiation-free. Dr. Hudson is a Radiologist and breast imaging specialist.

Breast Thermography measures the vascular changes in your breasts, as they detect blood flow patterns, inflammation, and asymmetries. A mammogram is a type of structural imaging that looks at anatomical changes, detecting structures and/or lumps. A lump has to grow to a certain size before it can even be detected by a mammogram, which can take up to 5-10 years. This means that your mammograms can come back negative even when there is a lump developing in your breast tissue but hasn’t grown large enough to be detectable.

Once a lump is detected, we know that it has been growing for several years, and this is the reason that breast thermography is not looking for structures or lumps. Breast thermography has the ability to monitor thermal abnormalities within your breasts since it detects tissue changes, even before a structural change or lump forms. These thermal abnormalities include new blood vessel formation that is typically present when a tumor is forming. Thermal asymmetries visible on your breast thermogram correspond with the physiological changes currently occurring in your body.

Moreover, regular (annual) breast health monitoring with breast thermography can provide the earliest warning signs of possible evolving pathology without having to wait for years. So don’t wait, start your breast health prevention today with a breast thermogram.

Thermography is also a great tool to monitor breast health because it gives indications of problems before there is a diagnosed cancer that can be changed and monitored. Examples include estrogen dominance, lymphatic congestion, and even allergies that cause inflammation. Total Body Thermography & Wellness educates our clients on breast health ideas during an initial screening and gives women easy cost-effective, drug-free ways to make breast health changes.

Thermograms can benefit ALL women and can be particularly useful for women under 40 who want to monitor their breast health.  Breast disease prevention should start as early as possible…this includes physical exams and breast self-exams, together with thermography to provide you with an important tool for breast health.

Your first breast scan provides the baseline of your “thermal signature.” The second session, usually 3 months later, is a comparative study to analyze any changes.
