It’s a revolutionary, non-invasive, and pain-free breast screening with no radiation or contact. Thermography assesses the physiological activity of your breasts by monitoring blood vessels that form specific patterns indicating risk. These blood vessels are what create the heat patterns—providing unique insights into
Imagine your breast in a temperature-controlled room with an ice pack placed on your back. As your body cools, blood vessels in healthy tissue constrict to preserve heat. But abnormal tissue—like a tumor—remains warm. Tumors require blood flow, and that blood flow generates heat. This temperature contrast forms distinct patterns in the blood vessels that thermography can detect.
Every woman has a distinct "thermal signature" that stays consistent over many years. Any significant change from this baseline can indicate a potential issue.
By tracking your thermal signature over time, we can differentiate between cancerous and benign conditions, offering a crucial long-term perspective on your breast health.
It's vital to establish a baseline early in a woman's life. We recommend starting breast thermography as early as age 25.
Sometimes, blood vessels form specific patterns that may signal an abnormality. To truly see these patterns, our images are often viewed in grayscale, which allows for remarkable clarity.
We monitor your thermal vascular pattern over time to identify any changes. Consider this example:
The initial grayscale image detailed an unusual hypervascular pattern, noted as "highly unusual" (Bilateral TH-2). Even before color images showed overt abnormality, the grayscale provided a crucial early alert.
The left breast was upgraded to Equivocal (Equivocal, TH-3).
The left breast was further upgraded to Abnormal (Abnormal, TH-4). Ultrasound and MRI later confirmed these thermographic findings, underscoring thermography's ability to provide early insights.
Our thermograms help visually distinguish between healthy breast tissue and areas of concern.
Vascular patterns are key indicators of breast health and potential risk.
Images above are hormonally balanced breasts that typically show non-vascular patterns. Hormonal balance plays a critical role in maintaining healthy breast tissue. Thermography can reveal how various hormones impact breast health.
Bio-identical estrogen, whether in pellets, patches, or creams, can stimulate breast cells and create increased vascularity, potentially increasing risk.
Breasts may be at risk due to estrogen pellet use, showing increased vascularity.
Similarly, bio-identical estrogen cream use can lead to increased vascular patterns in the grayscale image and warm tones in the color image, indicating elevated risk.
Even Estriol, often considered a "safe" form of estrogen by some physicians, can show vascular patterns in the grayscale image, indicating potential risk.
A patient recently diagnosed with breast cancer in her right breast, who also used a bio-identical estrogen patch, showed warm tones in color and vascular patterns in grayscale in both breasts.
Certain foods containing phytoestrogens, like soy and flax, can also stimulate breast cells and increase vascular activity, potentially raising risk.
Notice the vascularity or increased activity of blood vessels caused by estrogen stimulation from soy.
Flax contains phytoestrogens that may increase risk, leading to increased vascularity.
In one case, a patient with a diet high in soy and flax showed significant vascularity. After removing these phytoestrogens from her diet, a complete reduction in vascularity was observed in her left breast.
Patients utilizing Cohosh herbal therapy may also exhibit vascularity.
Certain medications, particularly those containing synthetic hormones, can influence breast health and increase risk.
When applied directly to the breasts, a reduction in vascularity can be observed. Patients have even reported decreased menopause symptoms.
While less common, male breast cancer is on the rise. In 2010, 2,000 cases were reported with 400 deaths. Early detection with certified breast thermography is highly recommended for men as well.
