Current methods for detecting breast cancer depend primarily on the combination of both physical examination and mammography.
While this approach has become the mainstay of early breast cancer detection, the mortality rate from this disease has gone relatively unchanged for decades.
Since the prevention of breast cancer has not become a reality — yet — more efforts must be directed at early-stage detection.
Consequently, Breast Thermal Imaging has been added to the front lines of early breast cancer detection — which is very good news for women!
The use of Breast Thermal Imaging is based on the principle that chemical and blood vessel activity in both pre-cancerous tissue and the area surrounding a developing breast cancer is almost always higher than in normal breast tissue.
In an ever-increasing need for nutrients, cancerous tumors increase circulation to their cells by opening existing blood vessels and creating new ones (neoangiogenesis).
This process frequently results in an increase in regional surface temperatures of the breast. Breast Thermal Imaging uses ultra-sensitive infrared cameras and sophisticated computers to detect, analyze and produce high-resolution diagnostic images detailing these temperature variations. Those variations may be among the earliest signs of breast cancer and/or a pre-cancerous state of the breast.
