Thermal Breast Imaging
Thermal Breast Imaging, also known as Thermography, is a non-invasive and radiation-free diagnostic technique that uses infrared technology to detect heat patterns and blood flow in the breast tissue. Thermal Breast Imaging uses digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI) that reveals temperature differences on the surface of the breasts. This method can identify abnormalities and early signs of breast disease, including breast cancer, by detecting changes in temperature and vascular activity. At Narberth Family Medicine & Acupuncture Center, we offer Thermal Breast Imaging as a safe and effective tool for monitoring breast health and aiding in early detection.
Why Do Thermal Breast Imaging?
Thermal Breast Imaging is particularly valuable for its ability to detect subtle physiological changes that often precede the development of more noticeable symptoms, providing a proactive approach to breast health. Thermal breast imaging is not a replacement for a monogram but a supplement to your regular tests. It is a great option for young women not yet in the range to get regular monograms but who may have some concerns about breast health or who would like some additional testing for peace of mind.
