Breast Thermography
Thermography offers a sensitive and specific test for breast cancer that does not expose sensitive tissue to ionizing (cancer
promoting) radiation. Research indicates that thermography is a more accurate screening tool than mammography for women under
the age of 55, especially for women between the ages of 25-40. For women over the age of 70, thermography is useful in combination
with clinical breast exams and mammography.
