Re. Breast Thermography
“Infrared imaging, based more on process than structural changes, and requiring neither
contact, compression, radiation nor venous access, provides pertinent and practical
complimentary information to both clinical examination and mammography. Quality
controlled abnormal infrared images heighten our index of suspicion in cases where
clinical or mammographic findings are equivocal or nonspecific and signal the need for
further investigation rather than observation. With the addition of infrared imaging, our
sensitivity of image detection has increased from 83% to 93%.
