Who Should Have a Thermogram?
Thermography can be utilized by all women, all shapes, all sizes and all ages. It is not limited by breast density and is ideal for women who have had cosmetic or reconstruc-tive surgery, women with large or small breasts, a history of fibrocystic breast disease, and women with dense breast tissue.

When Should I Get My First Thermography?
It is recommended that women begin thermography screenings at age 25. Since most women do not have a mammogram until age 40, there is a critical time period from age 25 to 39 that thermography could be beneficial. The number one killer of women ages 40-44 is breast cancer. A woman diagnosed with breast cancer at age 40 most likely had the cancer 10 years (age 30). More info…

Breast Thermography is a screening procedure
that aids in early detection of
breast cancer.
Integrative Wellness Center provides
thermal breast screening that is both comfortable and safe, using no radiation or compression. A highly sensitive infrared camera obtains "heat images" or pictures of the breast, resulting in the early detection of breast cancer. A physician trained in thermology carefully examines changes in the temperature and blood vessels of the breasts, signs of possible cancer or pre-cancerous cell growth. This provides for the earliest detection of cancer possible.
Temperature variations and vascular changes may be among the earliest signs of breast cancer and/or a precancerous state of the breast. An abnormal infrared image is also the
single most important marker of high risk for developing breast cancer.
Current research has determined that the key to breast cancer survival rests upon its earliest possible detection. If discovered in its earliest stages, 95% cure rates are possible. Our center is dedicated to providing one of the most essential tests in breast cancer risk assessment and early detection.
