Thermography

Thermography uses an infrared camera to detect heat emissions from the targeted body region. Digital infrared thermal imaging is the thermography used to diagnose breast cancer. This method shows high accuracy and is a cost-effective form of diagnosis. The concept behind this test is that as cancer cells multiply, they need more oxygen-rich blood for growth. As there is an increase in blood flow to the tumor, the temperature around the tumor also increases. Malignant cells discharge nitric oxide into the bloodstream and cause impairment in the microcirculation [22]. This released nitric oxide, along with the active growth of the cancerous cells, increases blood circulation and temperature in that particular region. Therefore, evaluating these differences in temperature leads to the detection of the malignant region in the breast [23].

Globally, breast cancer is the most frequently occurring cancer in women and is the reason for more disability-adjusted life years lost than any other type of cancer. Hence, early screening plays a vital role in reducing breast cancer mortality. ...

If Thermography is so great, why isn't it more readily available?

We love fielding questions from our clients. One of them that is asked often is, ‘if breast thermography is so great, why isn’t it more readily available, and why isn’t it widely used?’ At ThermApproach, we asked the same question. The answer is somewhat political, but we believe this will h...

Thermography has the opportunity to detect changes at any stage in the development from the first year through when a lesion is dense enough to be seen with mammography. This early detection of change can lead to earlier diagnosis and better treatment options as well as the opportunity for patients and their healthcare practitioners to intervene at an early stage with preventative treatment.

Helpful information from the American College of Clinical Thermology for
October Breast Awareness
Breast Health Statistics.

Everyone hears about the scary breast cancer statistics, and of course, no-one wants to be one (of the ‘cancer’ statistics). Particularly the statistics of a false negative screening result, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment.

False negative results are a fact of life and are rarely due to inadequacy or error. A percentage of cancers cannot be easily detected for a number of reasons.

So, it’s much better to be well informed, and take advantage of all the screening options and initiatives for the earliest detection of developing pathologies, as well as practicing good breast health and preventative measures, “there’s so much good information available out there” !

All women should aim to become one of the ‘good’ breast health statistics.

Having a good diet, low stress, doing monthly self breast exams and being aware of any breast changes, following recommended screening programs that include all available technologies and tests, gives the best opportunity to be one of the (greater %) of ‘good’ breast health statistics.

Partial and Whole Body Thermal Imaging
Thermography is a diagnostic tool in the differential diagnosis of neuromusculoskeletal injuries – commonly foot and ankle, knee, shoulder, and lumbar and cervical spine – and their prognosis for return to participation and/or competition. Thermography has been recognized as a viable diagnostic tool since 1987 by the AMA council on scientific affairs, the ACA council on Diagnostic Imaging, the Congress of Neurosurgeons in 1988 and in 1990 by the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
Post traumatic pain is often associated with complex disturbances of the sympathetic nervous system which also controls microcirculation of the skin. Circulatory skin changes are in turn reflected by altered superficial thermal emission, which can be reliably imaged by thermography, as well as the following:

Fibromyalgia
Visceral Dysfunction
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
Chronic Low Back Pain
Headache / Sinus Pain
Skin Cancer
Arthritis
Chronic Nerve Injury
Sports Injuries
Deep Vein Thrombosis
Neck and Back Problems
Referred Pain
Repetitive Strain Injuries
Whiplash

“Which one is better—a mammogram or a thermogram?” That’s what everyone wants to know. It’s a perfectly logical question, one I am asked everywhere I go. But it’s the wrong question. It’s more complex than that. Yes, both tests can produce images of the breasts, and both offer the poss...
