The thermal imaging uses physiologic changes– increased blood flow to the cancers– to find abnormal growth. Since these changes occur before the tumor is large enough to be found by a mammogram, thermography can find cancers well before they can be picked up my mammograms.
The cancer seen in this series could not be found by mammogram until the final image, 1 year after the thermogram was suspicious.
The image on the right is an inflammatory breast cancer that had no symptoms and would not show up on a mammogram.
All of this is done completely painlessly: there is no compression and no radiation.
