Understanding The Benefits Of Thermal Breast Imaging

By Juana Buchanan


Again and again, specialists have constantly turned to mammography as the brilliant norms of detecting breast cancer. Medical professionals have accordingly worked in it to the degree that thermal breast imaging has not gain prominence as it should going by results from studies on the subject. Mammography focuses on diagnosis of an existing malignant tissue unlike the computerized (digital) Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) that concentrates on averting disease at cell level before the establishment of any tissue.

The principle behind thermal imaging is quite simple. Ideally, the skin covering a malignant breast tissue gets warmer than the surrounding tissue. Using heat sensitive/infrared cameras, images taken can be used to detect cancer at its earliest stage possible.

Cancers require nutrients to support their growth from the earliest stage possible hence increasing blood supply to the region. This means that inactive blood cells suddenly become active with the new ones forming in effort to sustain the nutrient requirement. This increases surface temperature in the region. The newly formed vessels and activated ones are also distinct and can be detected with infrared screening.

Given that breast thermal impressions are as unique as DNA, an introductory infrared image is taken on the initial screening and is used for future reference. The typical cell multiplying rate is about 80 days and hence the patient can go for the second infrared image after 90 days. The two photographs can then be looked at and examined for any progressions. In the event that there is no change on images, this structures the groundwork for future examinations. The patients will then attend annual screening.

In case of any suspicion on the first screening or even the second one, the patient is promptly sent detailed diagnosis testing. With these noteworthy effects, thermography has the ability to recognize inconsistencies several years before mammography can. The progressions discovered are at cell level making it conceivable to spot potential tumour 8 to 10 prior years in advance of any other test. This is supported by research that proves that cancerous tumours become detectable after having developed for over seven years or more.

With regular screening, you have a chance to adjust your lifestyle and diet and transform the cells before they develop into cancerous tissue. It is more of a preventive measure than just early detection that is offered by mammography.

It does not hurt in any manner since it is non-intrusive procedure. It has no side effect and is also free of radiations. Likewise, it works better for circumstances where mammography is not suitable, for example, ladies with small breasts, those who need special attention due to breast implants, post-mastectomy screening, and screening of male patients, case like Abnormal Lymph, Thyroid, Brachial and Carotid and all other cases where mammography is not ideal.

Breast thermography comes with many merits over most alternatives the major one being the chance for earliest possible detection and hence prevention. If used as a complementary procedure to mammography and other diagnosis procedures, it can turn out to be the best medical practice towards eliminating mortality resulting from breast cancers. It only requires annual screening after the initial infrared images are taken.
