Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI)

Breast Thermography can detect abnormalities in breast tissue 8-10 years earlier than a mammogram.

DITI's role in breast cancer and other breast disorders is to help in early detection and monitoring of abnormal physiology and the establishment of risk factors from the development or existence of cancer. When used with other procedures the best possible evaluation of breast health is made.

DITI uses changes in breast tissue temperatures to identify changes in breast tissue. When pre-cancerous cells or cancerous cells form in the breast tissue, changes in blood flow and tissue concentration occur, resulting in temperature changes. The thermographic images will show the change in blood flow, tissue density as it is related to temperature, and heat distribution. This will then alert doctors of concerning changes.

This is 15 minute non--invasive test is RADIATION FREE and is designed to improve chances for detection of fast growing active tumors in the intervals between mammography screenings or when mammography is not indicated by screening guidelines such as for younger women, denser breast tissue, breast implants and to avoid harmful radiation. It can also guide closer attention to  a specific area of the breast that needs particularly close examination such as when an MRI is indicated.
