Breast Screening
One of the most valuable but neglected diagnostic tools in the early detection of breast pathology is DITI.

A combination of hypervascularity of blood vessels together with an associated area of inflammation typical of cancerous growths is what makes them give off more infrared energy relative to the surrounding normal breast tissue areas.

Thermography detects these temperature abnormalities using a highly sensitive infrared camera without the use of radiation making it a valuable and safe early risk marker of breast pathology and an excellent case management tool for the ongoing monitoring and treatment of breast disease when used under carefully controlled clinical protocols.

We recommend that women begin having breast thermal image scans at the age of 20-25 to establish a baseline study that can be compared with future studies. Each woman has a thermal blueprint or fingerprint of her breasts that is unique to her. This is stable until something happens to disrupt this pattern such as cancer, cysts, infections or hormonal imbalances. When an individual thermal fingerprint changes, it is important to perform further evaluation and then take any appropriate action.

Current early detection guidelines
One day there may be a single method for the early detection of breast cancer. Until then, using a combination of methods will increase your chances of detecting cancer at an early stage.
  • Annual DITI screening for women of all ages
  • Mammography when considered appropriate for women over age 50
  • A regular breast examination by a health professional
  • Monthly breast self-examination
  • Personal awareness for changes in the breasts
  • Readiness to discuss quickly any such changes with your doctor.

These guidelines should be considered along with your family background and medical history.

We now also offer free of charge as part of our Comprehensive Breast Health Package:
· A manual breast examination and advice on how to check your own breasts.
· A 15 minute telephone consultation to discuss your report and provide information and aftercare advice.
