What is Thermography? What’s a Thermogram?

What is Thermography?  And, what’s a thermogram?

The process of thermal imaging is just like having your picture taken with a cell phone and, just as fast and just as safe.  But, unlike your camera, which is capturing light in the invisible ultraviolet spectrum, our camera is capturing light in invisible infrared spectrum and, ends up creating a picture of the heat distribution across the body.  The picture is referred to as a thermogram.

The resulting thermal patterns can be associated with inflammation, dysfunction and health conditions, and can help to support safe, early detection, intervention efforts and prevention, too.  This is the focus of our Preventive Thermography.

Is Thermography Safe?

The answer is a resounding yes.

With no radiation, compression or bodily contact, preventive thermography is 100% safe and pain-free.

It’s as simple as having your picture taken as you stand in front of a digital camera.

But there is no need to be apprehensive or bashful because the photographer has her back to you: our camera sends your live thermal image to a computer monitor.

Additionally, our camera is safer than your cell phone because it has no EMF emissions to impact your body.

So whether you want to image your breasts, organs, teeth or other body parts, you can rest assured that our thermography is 100% safe.

Is Thermography Effective?

Is Preventive Thermography effective?

The answer is a resounding yes when it comes to supporting early detection and prevention for men and women.

Do you know that mammograms look for masses and that approximately 97% of breast masses are benign? Or that all women get breast masses from time to time as junk from the body gets stuck in lymph nodes and breast tissue?

This means mammograms have a very high false positive rate and lead to over diagnoses and treatment, including chemo, surgery, and radiation for a ductal carcinoma in situ, which is pre-cancer. Yet or “other tyan cancer.” All adults have pre-cancerous cells, and about 90% go away on their own.

In comparison, thermograms look for the blood supply that active cancers create (neoangiogenesis) in an attempt to distinguish inflammation-filled lymph nodes, masses and cysts from actual breast cancers.

In addition, the average breast cancer typically grows 7 to 10 years before it is large enough to be seen by mammograms,  when at least 286 million cancer cells are present.

However, active cancers may begin creating a blood supply with as few as 256 cells, so thermographic signs may appear in the first years of growth, supporting earlier detection.

In fact, the more aggressive the cancer, the earlier thermographic findings may be visible. So, while inflammatory breast cancer is invisible to mammography, it can be very visible by thermography.

Also, while dense breasts can reduce the effectiveness of mammograms to as low as 30%, do you know that density does not impact Preventive Thermography?

Or that when thermograms are used in conjunction with ultrasounds that accuracy is between 95 to 99% for breast cancer detection?

You might be surprised to learn that we also use our advanced thermography to show men and women their sources of inflammation, and for women what is draining into their breasts, and provide proactive action steps to reduce inflammation.

Since chronic inflammation is a precursor to illness and disease, this approach supports prevention. Something that mammography cannot do.

Whether you seek early detection or prevention, you will find our advanced thermography helpful and effective.

Who Benefits from Thermography?

Preventive thermography is helpful for every man and every woman, especially those who are proactive and seek to learn sources of inflammation in their body that they might not be able to feel, that could lead to chronic inflammation, a precursor to illness and disease in the future.

Our Preventive Thermography includes recommended action steps, self-care education and local professional resources to support improvement and prevention.

Ideal for breast imaging, including women who aren’t candidates for mammography because of dense breast or implants, or because they are pregnant, nursing or seeking radiation-free testing.

Also, for women using birth control pills and/or hormone replacement therapy.  The highest risk factor for breast cancer is prolonged exposure to excess estrogen. Our service provides a Hormonal Grade to monitor the level of estrogen stimulation in the breasts and empowering preventive education to help women make informed decisions that balance needs and risk.

What is Preventive Thermography?

Thermography is a health imaging technique used for breast cancer prevention and early detection. There are two approaches to thermography: basic thermography and preventive thermography, specifically, Risk Assessing Thermal Imaging (RATI).

Basic thermography focuses on early detection of cancer, whereas RATI takes a proactive and preventive approach. By combining Risk Assessing Thermal Imaging with preventive education and actively managing risk factors, individuals can intervene and potentially reverse their situation. RATI assigns a Thermobiological Risk Rating to each breast, allowing for objective monitoring of the collective impact of various risk factors over time.

Prevetive thermogrpahy offers insights into risk factors, educates clients, and provides tools and resources to support prevention. Additionally, RATI includes Hormonal Grades, which assess estrogen stimulation in the breasts, a significant risk factor for breast cancer.

So, prevetive thermography offers a comprehensive approach to breast cancer prevention and early detection.

What if I Already Had or Have Cancer?

“How does thermography help me if I already had or have breast cancer”?  It’s a twofold answer.  First of all, cancer treatment is about addressing a symptom, i.e. a tumor. It is not about addressing the underlying sources or causes of the process that lead to the development of cancer.

Preventive thermography helps men and women to observe the sources of inflammation in the body that may have contributed to the process of cancer, i.e. unfelt jawbone infection.

If there is no cure for cancer until it’s underlying sources of inflammation or causal factors are remedied, preventive thermography may help.

Secondly, for whatever treatment is being applied for the cancer, our advanced thermography may help monitor the effectiveness of that treatment.

For instance, active breast cancers create their own blood supply, which creates heat and often, a cobweb of dilated vessels. If treatment is effective, a resolution or shrinking of the vascular pattern should occur.  If not, then treatment adjustments may be warranted.

Post COVID Findings on the Rise

We are seeing an increase in clients with cancer that may be linked to prior COVID vaccinations or infection. It seems COVID vaccinations suppress the body’s ability to seek out and destroy cancer cells, with cancer on the increase years later. So is POTS, Epstein-Barr and other microbial infections, some of which can live in the jawbone. Did you or loved ones have COVID or its vaccinations and if so, do you/they continue to have them? Something to think about.

 

What’s the Most Common Life-Threatening Finding?

Many people ask us, what is the most common, potentially, life-threatening finding we observe?  You might think it’s cancer or breast cancer but, it’s not.  It turns out its dental related.

Dental care may result in jawbone infections we cannot feel and most dentists cannot see, diagnose or treat.

These infections may slowly drip toxins into the body and contribute to symptoms, conditions, disease, and death, albeit over decades.

When jawbone findings are present in preventive thermography reports, we ensure our clients know where to go for proper diagnostic evaluation and treatment.

Less than 1% of dentists are qualified to serve our clients and potentially remedy such infections, which may be life saving.

To learn the significance of dental-related findings, consider chapter 6 in Better Breast Health – for Life!™ and these dental imaging examples.

How Sensitive is the Camera?

Our camera captures 307,200 temperature readings to 0.05°C sensitivity and 0.69mrad spatial resolution in a split-second. It is so sensitive that if you touch, say your cheek, with some of your fingers, which are typically colder than your core, we would see cold fingerprints on you image for over one minute.

We don’t want to have any artificial data on your images but, you want us to have a sensitive camera so you know we don’t miss anything important.

Our high resolution, highly detailed camera won’t miss those earliest possible signs of cancer, it’s warning signs or potential sources of inflammation.
