Breast thermography research shows that an abnormal thermogram is a stronger indicator of future breast cancer risk than even family history. Dr. Wendy Sellens trained under Dr. William Hobbins—the only physician to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award for breast thermography research—and was named his protégé in the field of thermographic interpretation and research.
Our imaging roots trace back to Maurice Bales, inventor of the first FDA-approved digital infrared camera for breast thermography in 1979. Dr. Martin Bales, co-owner of Pink Image, has carried on his family’s legacy—advancing from camera innovation to developing the most powerful handheld infrared system on the market.
Breast thermography requires a camera with an optical resolution of at least 480 lines and must be interpreted in gray scale (black-hot) for accurate assessment. The Bales TIP (Thermal Image Processor) camera provides 600 optical lines of resolution, allowing for the most detailed infrared (heat) images of the breast. When imaging the
Breast thermography requires a camera with an optical resolution of at least 480 lines and must be interpreted in gray scale (black-hot) for accurate assessment. The Bales TIP (Thermal Image Processor) camera provides 600 optical lines of resolution, allowing for the most detailed infrared (heat) images of the breast. When imaging the breasts for potential malignancies, it is important to utilize a high resolution, ultra sensitive infrared camera such as the Bales TIP camera.
Most breast thermography cameras are FDA approved only for detecting skin temperature changes. They are not FDA approved for breast thermography. They scan too few optical lines, resulting in poor image quality and limited breast detail. All valid breast thermography research used high optical line cameras. Low-resolution systems cannot a
Most breast thermography cameras are FDA approved only for detecting skin temperature changes. They are not FDA approved for breast thermography. They scan too few optical lines, resulting in poor image quality and limited breast detail. All valid breast thermography research used high optical line cameras. Low-resolution systems cannot apply these findings. For accurate results, breast thermography must be done with high optical line cameras that provide the detail needed for proper interpretation, 480 and above.
Unfortunately, most companies use low-resolution cameras—often 120 or 240 optical lines—rather than the recommended 480 or higher. As shown in the image above, these lower-quality systems lack the detail needed for accurate interpretation and often omit essential gray-scale imaging.
Superior technology is a key factor in certified breast thermography.
Breast thermography is a non-invasive, radiation-free superficial screening tool that monitors blood flow and heat patterns in the breasts. Thermography measures only skin temperature and cannot assess breast tissue or internal organs, as they lie too deep beneath the skin’s surface.

Breast thermography is a safe option for women with implants, dense breasts, those who are pregnant, and nursing mothers.

He remains the only doctor to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award for thermography research. Dr. Wendy Sellens studied with Dr. William Hobbins for over 10 years and co-founded the Pink Bow Breast Thermography Research and Education nonprofit. She has authored eight books based on his pioneering work. Together these 3 doctors also co-founded the Women’s Academy of Breast Thermography—the only thermography academy meeting the minimum standards required for accurate and professional breast thermography.

Breast thermography does not detect cancer. Only a biopsy does. Breast thermography is a superficial screening procedure that monitors blood flow in the breasts. Blood vessels can form specific patterns that may signal an abnormality. For proper interpretation, images must be captured and reviewed in black-hot (grayscale), which is mandatory for clinical thermographic analysis. Pink Image offers a full range of breast health services designed to promote early detection, prevention, and peace of mind. Our team provides thermographic imaging, clinical, consultations, and breast health treatment plans tailored to your needs. Every service is delivered with compassion, professionalism, and a focus on long-term wellness.

Welcome to Pink Image Integrative Breast Health Medical Clinic! We are the leaders in the field of breast thermography research focusing on the effects of hormones on breast health. Pink Image is deeply rooted in community care and women’s health education. We are certified by both national thermography boards, a distinction held by very few clinics in the United States.
We specialize in accredited breast thermography, combining Eastern and Western medicine, nutrition, and hormone therapy. For nearly 20 years, our clinic has opened its doors to the Solana Beach Farmers Market—where we proudly direct our patients to shop for local organic produce, flax-free and soy-free eggs, raw honey, and grass-fed beef to support hormone health.
Today, women are facing a silent battle—a fight for our breasts and our lives. Breast cancer continues to rise at alarming rates, with the U.S. among the highest in global cancer occurrences. Despite increased awareness and routine screenings, more women—and even men—are being diagnosed every year. It's time to question the mainstream narrative about breast health and prevention, and to look deeper into the root causes.
We’ve been led to believe that products like bio-identical estrogen, flax, and soy-based supplements are beneficial for staying youthful and balanced. But if these hormones are truly safe, why are breast cancer cases steadily increasing—even in populations that religiously follow these "health trends"? The reality is that excess estrogen, whether natural or synthetic, can fuel breast tissue abnormalities and cancer growth. Challenging this misinformation is uncomfortable—but necessary for survival.
At Pink Image, we believe that informed women are empowered women. Our mission goes beyond screenings—we’re here to educate, inspire, and equip you with real, science-backed insights to support lifelong breast health. This isn’t just a clinic. It’s a movement. A movement that challenges outdated thinking, questions harmful norms, and arms women with the truth.
Once you understand how your body responds to hormone influences, environmental toxins, and diet trends, you’ll be able to make confident, informed decisions about your health. Ready to take charge?
Start by reading “Breast Thermography Revolution – Bootcamp for an Estrogen-Free Life." This powerful research book uncovers what every woman deserves to know about breast thermography, hormone risks, and early detection.
