Breast Cancer Screening
Facts
- Infrared can detect vascular and
sympathetic nervous system changes in the breasts 5+
years before other detection methods.
- Average tumor doubling rate is 80 days in people under
age 50.
- It may take 5-8 years for a tumor to grow to a detectable
size with other imaging methods.
- Infrared imaging is fast, non-contact, no radiation,
highly accurate temperature measurement.
All images are interpreted by Doctors trained and certified
by the ACCT (American College of Clinical Thermography) www.thermologyonline.org.
All reports are kept in a secured web site for certifed
thermographers. This allows secure access to your history
should you relocate to another part of the country.
