User Friendly Breast Imaging.

All women can benefit from Breast Thermography using Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI). However it is especially appropriate for younger women (18 - 50) whose denser breast tissue makes it more difficult and potentially even more dangerous using mammography, because of the extremely high radiation dose necessary for mammography to be effective.


It is also appropriate for women of all ages who, for many reasons, are unable or not willing to undergo routine mammography screening. This imaging can provide a clinical marker to a health care professional that a specific area of the breast needs particular close and gentle examination.
It takes years for a tumour to grow to a point where it can be detected by mammography thus any modality that can indicate the earliest possible marker of abnormality is needed to facilitate the earliest possible treatment and/or intervention. DITI'S role in monitoring breast health is to help in early detection and monitoring of abnormal physiology.
DITI is the only imaging procedure capable of detecting abnormal breast physiology at a very early stage. This quick and easy imaging begins with your medical history being noted and, depending on which images are being taken, you may be required to partially disrobe for the scanning to take place. DITI cannot image through hair on the head or through clothing. DITI does not require any contact with your body at all. There is no compression of the breast and is therefore painless. There is no dangerous radiation being passed through your breasts.
